One month. Two countries. A new perspective on whatโ€™s possible. ๐ŸŒŽ

For environmental sciences student Kenna Talhelm, studying abroad in Sweden and Norway wasnโ€™t just about seeing new places โ€” it was about seeing the world, and her future, differently.

Through the International Sustainable Resource Use study abroad program, Kenna spent a month learning about sustainability and natural resource use across Scandinavia. Her experience took her from hiking in Abisko National Park and exploring the landscapes of northern Sweden to visiting an iron-ore mine and climate research station, learning about sustainable urban design and cruising through Norwayโ€™s breathtaking fjords. 

"This study abroad experience really reaffirmed my interest in urban design and planning," Talhelm said. "As we travelled throughout Sweden and Norway, I found myself drawn to the ways in which their cities were designed differently from ours and how that allows them to live in such cold weather and to be more sustainable."

#919Day #NCStateOnCampus
Meet first-year #NCStateCNR student Natalie Nameth. ๐Ÿ‘‹

A member of the Environmental First-Year Program, Natalie is pursuing opportunities to deepen her understanding of marine science and explore solutions to environmental challenges.

It was thanks to scholarships that she was able to make her decision about which college she would attend. Natalie is a recipient of the Bob Kellison Family Extraordinary Opportunity Scholarship, which bridges the financial gap facing many students. 

โ€œI was going to do biomed, but in my junior year [of high school] I took a climate change biology class and I was so interested in it. I started looking into the climate sciences but I have always been interested in aquatic life, so my goal is to research coral reefs from an environmental perspective.โ€

Natalie is currently a member of NC State's EcoVillage and the Marine Science Club. She is also an Extraordinary Opportunity Scholar.
