Angel A. Flores
Chapman University

Angel is from Santa Ana, CA, and is a junior studying environmental science with an emphasis in policy at Chapman University. He is a resident advisor for a community of 30 students, who are also interested in protecting the environment, and puts on programs to help students learn more about the importance of sustainability. Angel also manages his family recycling business by working with business leaders on recycling initiatives. With the guidance of Dr. Brian Glaser at Chapman, he has started writing a book on sustainability and environmental justice. In the future, he hopes to enhance municipal waste programs and further develop solid waste technology.

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.
