MSU senior combines scientific background with interest in environmental policy and advocacy
April 9, 2021
Angela Yuan switched majors to environmental studies and sustainability to better connect with her passion for conservation and water resources protection.
MSU student Angela Yuan worked with classmates on a plan to improve water quality in the Red Cedar River.
During her first year at Michigan State University, Angela Yuan felt overwhelmed by the decision to commit to a major and a career. She started out studying psychology, but changed her mind after taking one science course in particular.
“I took an environmental and organismal biology course, a university requirement for non-science majors, and found myself fascinated by the topics and my conversations with the professor, Dr. Winterstein, and the teaching assistant,” Yuan said.
