I can’t believe my time at Colgate University is now coming to an end. The past three and a half years I’ve spent here have been so wonderful and I can’t express how much I appreciate MVYouth’s support towards my college education. This semester I experienced a much greater return to normalcy compared to last semester's COVID precautions. All my classes were in person and campus was much more lively. One of my favorite classes this semester was one called Natural Resource Economics. I loved learning about economic techniques used to inform environmental policies. This course explored real life problems as we developed mathematical models to solve for optimal ways to allocate and distribute resources. Some examples of problems we discussed include proper water allocation, combating air pollution, oil extraction, and fishery management. I also really enjoyed an astronomy class I took this semester. This class met in the visualization lab, which is a room meant for large-scale visualization. It has a large dome ceiling that projects images of outer space for our viewing and learning. It was an exciting environment to be in, and it altered my perspective of the universe and even our own lives here on Earth. Outside of academics, I’ve been busy participating in a fundraising campaign with my sorority for St. Jude Children's Hospital, and I was also a captain of our club ultimate frisbee team. I’ve been traveling some weekends to places like Saratoga Springs and Ithaca for tournaments. I’ve really enjoyed leading a team because I get to see the improvement of new and current players that I’ve coached first hand. Thank you MVYouth for everything.
