According to her advisor, Lauren Kurtz is dedicated to her studies. She is also a flexible individual who transitioned successfully from working in environmental education and then water conservation in Colorado to doing hemp research in Connecticut. Here is what she said about UConn.
Where did you study as an undergraduate? What was your major?
I went to Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan. I had a double major in environmental science and geography.
Why did you decide to go to graduate school?
I love learning! I originally planned on going to graduate school to study geography right after I graduated from undergrad in 2014. I didn’t find the right fit or funding and decided to wait a few years.
