Environmental Studies – Economics

My name is Hazel and I am a Business and Environmental Economics Double Major at St. Lawrence University, originally from Cambridge, VT. I went to high school at Green Mountain Valley School in Waitsfield, Vermont, where I skied for 4 years on the FIS circuit before continuing my academic and collegiate ski racing career here at SLU. I am driven by my love for the outdoors and environmental advocacy, and I hope to find a career in sustainability to help businesses with their environmental initiatives. 

Emma Palumbo, class of 2025, is an Environmental Studies- Economics major. She is especially interested in sustainable agriculture and food systems. Emma is heavily involved with athletics on campus. She is captain of the Women's Cross Country team and also runs on the Track and Field teams. She serves as secretary of the Student- Athlete Advisory Committee, helping to amplify student- athlete voice and plan school and community events. She is excited to leverage her economics background to analyze decisions regarding the intersections of sustainability and development.

Izzy Fontaine is a member of the class of 2024 at St. Lawrence University and is from Kennebunk, Maine. She grew up spending most time outdoors and developed an early appreciation for hiking, skiing, running, and exploring. Upon approval to study in New Zealand, Izzy was excited to explore the countless outdoor opportunities at hand.
