Evergreen's multidisciplinary approach was a strong basis for my work in international policy on sustainable development and climate change, and particularly in the United Nations environment where every sector from trade to energy to health is interconnected. I chose Evergreen because I could study environmental science alongside political economy, plus independent study in Nicaragua. The seminar approach prepared me well for graduate school in sustainable international development and for a career that requires public speaking, negotiation, creative thinking and strategy, and effective communications.
