Bethany Clarke '07
Bethany Clarke has never met a committee she didn’t like. But even with her busy schedule, Beth finds the time to chat with almost everyone she passes by, and does not hesitate to flash a smile. An Environmental Studies Major with a concentration in Human Sciences, Policy, and the Environment, Beth is a highly motivated and engaged student, and has the passion to get involved simply to “get to know someone new.” A senior from Cranston, Rhode Island, Beth’s passion for people is reflected in the many activities she does on campus. Beth is the Vice President of the Student Senate and the Pre-law Club, is the chair of the Judicial Review Board, and serves on the Quality of Life Committee, and the Land Use Committee, a group of students, staff, and faculty that give the approval for temporary or permanent structures around campus. Perhaps one of the most exciting new activities she’s been involved in, however, is the Community Conversation Committee, where she gets the opportunity to sit down with students, faculty, and staff who have concerns about campus and help make their needs and desires a reality. “I enjoy interacting with a number of different people and I’ve learned so much from them,” she said. Beth is also currently balancing two research internships—one with Casella Waste Systems, Inc., for which she has been researching California’s recycling and solid waste reduction laws to determine what impact these regulations would have on Casella, and one for the Poultney-Mettowee Natural Resource Conversation District, where she is doing research on sea lampreys and lampricide. Furthermore, Beth is a research assistant for Professor Rebecca Purdom. “I enjoy the opportunities to interact, comfortably communicate, and learn from individuals passionate about their field,” Beth says. Though Beth is uncertain of what her future holds, she has a number of opportunities, and is considering joining a construction company that has an environmental focus. “I’m thinking about doing a smaller job with them, say six weeks or so, so it would be like a crash course in environmental construction.” Beth is also interested in going to graduate school to earn a degree in environmental engineering. “Whatever I do,” Beth says, “I’ll keep getting involved. If I had to name one thing that GMC taught me, that would be it.” Front Page |
