Meet the researcher (student)!

   Hey! My name is Natalie Regennitter, I am a senior Sustainability Studies major with an emphasis in Natural Resource Management. I am very excited to be spending the summer leading up to my final semester at UT in Botswana with an amazing group of people. After I learned about this program, I knew that it would be perfect for my interests and it was exactly what I was looking for. I’m most intrigued by human-environment interactions and how human perceptions of environmental change shift over time. Being able to study that in a different cultural context is what I’m looking forward to the most. I am also thrilled to see a part of the study area that I have been researching as a small portion of a larger project under Dr. Crews. I want to thank the Bernard and Audre Rapoport Endowment for International and Multidisciplinary Studies, my mom, Rob, my dad, Addy, and my grandma; none of this would be possible without their help and support. Thank you for making this dream a reality!
