Kristin B. Dobbin
Pitzer College

Born and raised in the mountains of Utah, Kristin has been dedicated to the environment her entire life. As a junior at Pitzer College majoring in environmental policy, with a focus on environmental justice, Kristin is interested in promoting environmental and social sustainability simultaneously. On campus Kristin leads Pitzers’ environmental action club, manages a student-run organic local restaurant and works in the campus compost and garden programs. In her free time, Kristin can be found adventuring in the great outdoors, reading in her hammock or dancing enthusiastically in public.

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.
