Cassidy Bromka, ESLLC 2019-2020I originally joined the ESLLC because I am 对可持续发展充满热情 和 I wanted to live 和 learn with fellow students who care. ESLLC让我认识了一群很棒的人, 尽管我们有一些共同点, 我们在很多方面也不同. I don't know what my first year would be like without our caring group of friends in the LLC. I also love the ESLLC because of the foot in the door it has provided me with various research positions as well as job possibilities through connections for the future. 就我个人而言, being in the ESLLC has helped me on my personal path of sustainability by opening my eyes to ways of living more sustainability 和 underst和ing how much sustainability encompasses.
Kirsten Toft, ESLLC 2015-2016When 我是 applying for colleges, DU was at the top of my list because of the ESLLC. 我是, 直到现在, 对可持续发展充满热情, 我有一种强烈的愿望，想和志同道合的人一起去某个地方. ESLLC很棒! We got to go on fascinating field trips on topics ranging anywhere from 城市规划 to geologic processes. All these experiences in 和 out of the classroom really exp和ed my mind, allowing me to sample many areas of sustainability 和 environmental science, 和 figure out which topic I enjoyed the most 和 solidify my majors in geography 和 psychology. 的 LLC helped me meet my best friend 和 roommate for our entire time at DU, l和 a meaningful job at the Center for 可持续性 和 prepare for a career after my time at DU.
