Nicole G. Jimenez
Denison University

Nicki is a sophomore at Denison University majoring in environmental studies with a self-designed concentration in political ecology and minors in chemistry and music. Nicki has found a home in environmental policy through her work as a canvasser, campaigning on an Ohio ballot issue, and environmental history and politics classes. She is interested in creating historically-informed environmental policy focused on economic progress. Nicki is the co-president of the Green Team, the founder of a sustainable agriculture club, and a grantee planning to study wind power feasibility and start a composting system. Nicki is originally from Massachusetts and likes playing her bassoon, ultimate frisbee, and word games while hiking.

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.
