“I chose EPIC because it offers me the opportunity to research one of the most pressing issues that will impact people’s lives in the near future—climate change. I am particularly interested in investigating how inequality will be affected and exploring ways to protect vulnerable populations. I feel honored to have the chance to discuss these critical issues with professors and peers at EPIC.”
