Isabel Hall, a junior environment engineering student, discovered environmental engineering after arriving at UB. In addition to coursework, she runs a summer science program, Inspiring Future Engineers for local youth. For the past year, Hall has conducted undergraduate research on menstrual health maintenance in low-resource regions.
“Research under faculty mentorship has allowed me to explore how environmental engineering can bring social change to the developing world, and inspired me to create change in my local community,” says Hall. “The CSEE department encourages me to pursue my unique interests through departmental research, a tailored curriculum, and internship opportunities."
