Sarah Walters Burnsed ’01 — Biologist at the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute

Duncan Manley ’20 — Project Finance Analyst at Safari Energy

Lauren McManus ’18 —ESG Consultant at Clermont Partners

Sam Ross ’18 — Staff Geologist at Trihydro Corporation of juniors is coming up behind them, and our sophomore class is already growing rapidly. It’s fun to see the energy our students bring to the program, and their passion for environmental progress is undeniable.

Finally, we’ve been receiving updates from more of you over the last year as people check in with us after receiving the annual newsletter — and I can’t tell you how much we appreciate and enjoy hearing from you all! It’s incredible to hear about the pathways you’ve pursued and accomplishments you’ve achieved since W&L. Thank you to everyone that has reached out to fill us in on where you’re at and what you’re up to. Remember that we’re still updating our mailing lists, so if you are still hanging out with some of your ENV classmates, please encourage them to drop us a line. Above all else, stay in touch and keep us posted on what you’re getting into. And if you find yourself visiting Lex, be sure to stop by our new digs in the lower floor of Tucker Hall.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Kerriann Laubach Shabanowitz ’13 ’16L — Attorney-Advisor at U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

Following the panel discussion, students were invited to a reception where they could talk with the visiting alumni and ask questions about their career paths. It was another extremely successful event and the students walked away with a lot of insight. We thank all of our alumni panelists for taking the time out of their busy schedules to share their journeys with our students. 
