Student Researcher Gets Taste of Sustainability Science in Action
Economics major Tagwongo Obomsawin didn’t anticipate huddles with biologists or shellfish harvesters during her undergraduate program. But as a research assistant for theNew England Sustainability Consortium (NEST) Safe Beaches and Shellfish Program, she’s moved into the bustling crossroads of sustainability science.
“I love that no day is same. I’m involved in a wide variety of tasks and I get to learn from a lot of people I didn’t even think I’d be talking to,” said Obomsawin, a senior from Farmington with a passion for sustainability science.
