Student Introductions (3/8)

Next, Preston and Clinton, who have named their tent "Kalahari Dream Machine," will introduce themselves and thank those that have helped fund and support their study abroad experience!

I am currently a senior majoring in Geography and the Environment. My academic interests are focused on the sustainability and geomorphology of coastlines. I try to stay involved with the department by acting as Vice President for the Geography Society. After receiving my bachelor’s degree I plan to either continue my academic career, or receive a government position in environmental protection. I would like to thank my parents for giving me the funds to be able to take part in this amazing trip.

My name is Clinton Burgos, I’m a Computer Science major and a musician by hobby. I became interested in this program because of the unusual location and the focus on climate change – a subject I am not very well exposed to in my major, but also one I believe is important to understand. So far it’s been a great experience and I’m glad I’m here! I want to thank my parents for making my participation possible.
