Iceland with The GREEN Program

As one of 44 students accepted into The GREEN Program’s Renewable Energy and Sustainability Program, I participated in an eight day interactive learning experience in Iceland during spring break 2017. I attended courses at Reykjavik University related to geothermal energy, hydropower, energy policy, and economics. At the university, I completed a Capstone Project addressing the 17 Sustainable Development Goals initiated by the United Nations in 2015. I had the opportunity to tour an active geothermal plant and hydropower plant to learn more about renewable technologies. I also went on an adventurous hike on the Myrdalsjökull glacier to learn about the negative impacts climate change has on retreating glaciers. I served as a Campus Ambassador for The GREEN Program during my senior year, speaking with students and encouraging them to apply for an educational adventure of a lifetime.
