Kira Berglund
Meet Some Of Our Transfer Students
Major: Environmental Management
Hometown: Maple Grove, MN
Why I chose Green Mountain: I like that GMC is a small, environmentally focused, liberal arts college. Also I think it has a good program for Environmental Management, which at Green Mountain is a business-focused major with elements of environmental studies.
What I like best about GMC: I like that all the classes are small, even the Intro classes, so that discussions are possible and frequent. Also, I think Green Mountain has many good professors that are interested in the success of students during and after college.
Favorite part of the day: I'm a big fan of sunsets, and the view of the farm and river offers a good foreground for spectacular sunsets.
Best thing about Vermont: Vermont is home to many smaller communities that do not subscribe to the layout of many modern suburbs where malls and chain stores abound. In Vermont, there is more of a focus on small, local, independent businesses.
Quote you try to live by: In the end, we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught. –Baba Dioum
To me this quote refers to understanding the environment and the issues related to it. It is important to me that my education has an environmental focus. This way I may pass my knowledge on to others so that they may also understand and care about protecting the environment.
