Liz Habley '06 Liz was in the Peace Corps in Peru. When Liz was at Hanover, environmental science was not an option for a major, so she took the initiative and made it one. The one thing she regrets about her Hanover education is avoiding chemistry classes! |

Joel Ruselink '97 Joel is a manager/consultant at a national company. He said that all of the critical thinking and problem solving Hanover has students do has really helped him in his current job. He came into Hanover 100% sure he wanted to major in Business, but quickly learned that Geology was actually the subject for him. Joel got his foot in the door of the environmental field by checking the air quality of smoke stacks in Chicago. |

Celeste Sutter, CHMM '85 (Certified Hazardous Materials Manager) Celeste has now been an Environmental Health and Safety Officer for over 20 years; she helped in the building process of our new science center! She stressed that it is very important in the environmental field to be able to "wear a lot of hats", which means, you need to be very flexible and a good multitasker in order to handle all of the hard work you will have to do. |
