Toma Avdeev

What is your major? Environmental science

Expected graduation: May 2027

What inspired your interest in the environment and/or community? My interest for the environment came from growing up on Lake Michigan and spending a lot of time outdoors. I grew up swimming, paddle boarding, and camping in Wisconsin, which created a connection to the land I lived on. As I began pursuing a degree in environmental science, I have found a passion for preserving freshwater resources and finding ways to live more sustainably.
