Ellis S. Robinson
Ohio State University

Ellis is from Columbus, OH, where he is currently busy with post-secondary education. He is an aspiring Environmental Engineer studying Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at The Ohio State University. Graduate school is (hopefully) in the cards, where he plans to research, teach, and lead engineering-service initiatives (and rock climb too). Eventually, he hopes to hone his introductory technical skills into formidable tools targeted at eliminating poverty through the creation of appropriate environmental technology in and for developing areas of the world. Coffee is his fuel, and helping create an outdoors suitable for all humans is his passion.

How can you describe a weekend of student leaders from across the U.S. with an intense passion to change the world? The Orientation was a phenomenal experience to meet and build connections that I'm sure will last a lifetime.
