Jennifer Holler<\/strong>
Natural Resources<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did you choose the COF and Natural Resources? <\/strong>
I am really passionate about conservation and know that it is what I want to work in for my future career. I don’t have an exact job in mind yet, and I thought Natural Resources is a broader degree that could be relevant in a number of occupations. I loved that it had an option for a concentration in fish and wildlife conservation, which is exactly what I want to work in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s your favorite class you’ve taken so far? <\/strong>
My favorite class so far has been NR 202: Natural Resource Problems and Solutions. I loved all of the lectures and assignments for that class. I told people that I wish all of my classes could be exactly like that one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you love most about being an Ecampus COF student? <\/strong>
The best part of being an Ecampus student is the flexibility. I am able to fit the lectures and assignments around my work schedule. Having to attend in-person classes is something that held me back from working on my degree in the past because I couldn’t balance both work and school. Being able to earn my degree online has opened up a whole new world for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are you hoping or planning to do after graduation? <\/strong>
I want to use my degree to work in conservation, helping to keep endangered species from going extinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s your favorite book\/movie genre or your all-time favorite title? <\/strong>
One of my favorite books is \u201cBraiding Sweetgrass\u201d by Robin Wall Kimmerer. It was required reading for a class I took a couple of years ago, and I absolutely loved it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kevin Anderson<\/strong>
Tourism, Recreation and Adventure Leadership<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did you choose the COF and Tourism, Recreation and Adventure Leadership? <\/strong>
I chose the COF and TRAL field because since I was young, I’ve always wanted to be a Park Ranger. I love the outdoors and being a part of the process of not only conserving the land but also making it enjoyable to recreate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s your favorite class you’ve taken so far? <\/strong>
My favorite class so far has been FOR 111: Introduction to Forestry. Learning new things everyday about the forest ecosystem has been very enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you love most about being an Ecampus COF student?<\/strong>
Having the opportunity to earn a degree while still being at home with my family has been a true blessing. And the instructors have been more than understanding with some of the pitfalls of e-learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are you hoping to do after graduation? <\/strong>
I’m hoping to be able to be a park manager after I earn my degree with either the state or the U.S. Forest Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you like to do in your free time? <\/strong>
I don’t know what free time is\u2026But in all seriousness, I enjoy fishing, hunting, golfing and spending time with my kids and my grandson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
