Alison E. Carey
Syracuse University

Alison is a policy major at Syracuse University's Maxwell School, with a focus on sustainable urban development. Particularly interested in green infrastructure and recycling, she coordinated the construction of Syracuse's first campus rain garden, researched permeable pavement in the City of Syracuse, and designed guides for recycling programs for local businesses. This summer, Alison is interning in Amatlán, México on a sustainable development project, learning about ecotourism. Alison loves to dance salsa and hiphop, play clarinet, cook, run, and travel.

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.
