EKU Environmental Health Science & Sustainability Student
The alumni in the EHS program are amazing! I was able to connect with an alumni who works for Seagate Technology in Longmont, CO. Through her, I was able to get an internship with the company which has lasted for a year now. I’m so lucky to be able to continue working with Seagate post graduation as well. My EHS staff are also the BEST people ever! Every single one of them is so passionate about the field and strive everyday to help us succeed.
