My love for these hobbies that immerse me in nature made me a lot more conscious of our environment and the changes it has been undergoing in recent times. I chose EES to try and better educate myself not only on the environment, but also on ways to sustain, restore, and prevent further damage to it. By choosing this major, I also learned about the concentration that I chose to pursue (Sustainability and Environmental Policy), which is much more in line with my aspirations of becoming an environmental lawyer.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_4f2a11-8f, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_4f2a11-8f[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7672_4f2a11-8f\"]{padding-top:20px;font-size:20px;font-weight:900;font-style:normal;font-family:stratum-1-web;text-transform:uppercase;color:#3698d4;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_4f2a11-8f mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_4f2a11-8f[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7672_4f2a11-8f\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_4f2a11-8f img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_4f2a11-8f[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7672_4f2a11-8f\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_4f2a11-8f, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_4f2a11-8f[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7672_4f2a11-8f\"]{text-align:left!important;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_4f2a11-8f, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_4f2a11-8f[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7672_4f2a11-8f\"]{padding-top:0px;text-align:center!important;}}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading7672_4f2a11-8f wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7672_4f2a11-8f\">Best hands on experience and why<\/h3>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_6bcf6a-7a, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_6bcf6a-7a[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7672_6bcf6a-7a\"]{margin-top:0px;font-size:18px;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-family:forma-djr-micro;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_6bcf6a-7a mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_6bcf6a-7a[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7672_6bcf6a-7a\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_6bcf6a-7a img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_6bcf6a-7a[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7672_6bcf6a-7a\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_6bcf6a-7a, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_6bcf6a-7a[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7672_6bcf6a-7a\"]{text-align:left!important;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_6bcf6a-7a, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_6bcf6a-7a[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7672_6bcf6a-7a\"]{text-align:center!important;}}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading7672_6bcf6a-7a wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7672_6bcf6a-7a\">The EES 117 field days were my first real hands-on experience in fieldwork with an environmental science focus.

This class was very reading intensive and thought provoking. Professor LaRochelle was a great and funny professor, but also a great discussion leader, which helped a lot in the understanding and retention of information and ideas that we learned. The class introduced me to some of the history of the law and legal processes in America, helped me better understand the legal system, and also furthered my legal thinking abilities. This elective was taken to help fulfill some of the requirements of the concentration I am trying to pursue within EES.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_e5249e-cd, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_e5249e-cd[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7672_e5249e-cd\"]{padding-top:20px;font-size:20px;font-weight:900;font-style:normal;font-family:stratum-1-web;text-transform:uppercase;color:#3698d4;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_e5249e-cd mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_e5249e-cd[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7672_e5249e-cd\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_e5249e-cd img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_e5249e-cd[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7672_e5249e-cd\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_e5249e-cd, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_e5249e-cd[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7672_e5249e-cd\"]{text-align:left!important;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_e5249e-cd, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_e5249e-cd[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7672_e5249e-cd\"]{padding-top:0px;text-align:center!important;}}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading7672_e5249e-cd wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7672_e5249e-cd\">Wisdom for incoming students:<\/h3>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_5dd7b1-5d, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_5dd7b1-5d[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7672_5dd7b1-5d\"]{margin-top:0px;font-size:18px;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-family:forma-djr-micro;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_5dd7b1-5d mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_5dd7b1-5d[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7672_5dd7b1-5d\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_5dd7b1-5d img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_5dd7b1-5d[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7672_5dd7b1-5d\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_5dd7b1-5d, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_5dd7b1-5d[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7672_5dd7b1-5d\"]{text-align:left!important;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_5dd7b1-5d, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading7672_5dd7b1-5d[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7672_5dd7b1-5d\"]{text-align:center!important;}}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading7672_5dd7b1-5d wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading7672_5dd7b1-5d\">Eventually, in EES 117, EES students will be introduced to different concentrations in the EES major. There are several options to choose from, and it can really help make someone&#8217;s personal experience in the major more enjoyable. Even if one of the concentrations doesn&#8217;t really fall under an interest you have, you can create a personalized track for yourself to follow throughout your undergraduate years. Another piece of advice is to try to make the most out of EES 117 in general. The classes can seem like a slog to get through the several hour seminars every Wednesday, but the skills and people you meet can be super interesting and helpful for your college career.<br><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-7672_22970b-65 .kt-block-spacer{height:60px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-7672_22970b-65 .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#eee;width:80%;border-top-style:solid;}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-7672_22970b-65 .kt-block-spacer{height:35px!important;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-7672_22970b-65\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arthur Ortiz Double Major in EES and History Concentration: Why did you choose 91¸£Àû and the EES program: Despite me wanting to go to law school, I have always enjoyed being in the outdoors through camping and hiking\/ backpacking.
