Dena P. Adler
Brown University

Dena majors in environmental studies at Brown University and plans to pursue a career in environmental policy and law. She serves as the editor for Watershed: Journal of Environment & Culture, leads trips for BOLT (Brown Outdoor Leadership Training), and organizes a Community Supported Agriculture program with over 90 shares. During the summer she ventures westward to Montana and Wyoming where she has interned for Natural Resources Defense Council and helped assemble a student program for Round River Conservation Studies. This summer she will return to the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem to help lead the student program, conduct thesis research, meander the mountains, and savor conversations around the campfire.

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.
