But that quickly changed once I started taking classes, with \u201cEcology of Coastal Systems\u201d pointing me in the right direction. Studying submerged aquatic vegetation for my St. Mary\u2019s Project provided me with a better understanding of how humans interact with and impact the environment, which led me to decide that I wanted to work in a field where I could lessen these (negative) impacts. My SMP research lead to an internship at the Chesapeake Research Consortium, where I was exposed not only to research, but also meetings where I saw how scientists come together to work with policy makers to work to protect the environment\u2026. I went on to pursue an MS in environmental studies because I wanted more background in environmental policy since that plays a big role in our impacts to the environment. I was more than prepared for graduate school given the work I did for my SMP!<\/p>\n<footer><cite>Sarah Hunter Campbell \u201907<\/cite><\/footer>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Seahawks for Social Change (Extra)<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-115\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smcm.edu\/mulberrytree\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2020\/01\/h_c_grube-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Howie Grube\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Howie Grube \u201904 credits his college job as a resident assistant to awakening his interest in volunteerism and community service, but he got away from volunteering when he started working full time and raising four children with wife Catherine Teater Grube \u201906.
