I’m going to write about the Peru summer program here at Wake, and, more specifically, the work that goes on in the course and how it both deals with/battles climate change and reflects Wake’s ongoing commitment to sustainability. To narrow the article’s focus, I’d like to really focus on the students’ perspectives on how their work in Peru has affected their career trajectory/attitudes towards climate change/attitudes towards Wake’s sustainability efforts.

I have a list of students to interview, all of whom I have contacted and about 90% of whom have replied and been willing to help out. Additionally, I’d like to try and interview Dr. Silman and potentially Professor Catanoso if I need some additional information on the program.
