Madelyn Anderson

What is your major? Environmental studies and life science communication

Expected graduation: May 2025

What inspired your interest in the environment and/or community? I often find myself in awe of the living, breathing ecosystems we exist in. Ever since I was little I’ve been asking questions about the bugs I find or streams I swim in. Now that I’m older, I want to protect the wonders of biodiversity and share them with others.

What would you say (or do you say) to other students about CESP and the Nelson Institute? If you are seeking community, I highly recommend becoming involved with the Nelson Institute and specifically CESP. This slice of campus holds some of the warmest people, all passionate about creating a more welcoming and sustainable world for all.

Something few people know about you: Few people know that I also study herbalism.
