Zach recently took the Water and Soil Resource Management course at Unity College with Professor Maurice Testa.
"The natural world has always been a large part of my life. I still remember many of the life lessons I learned from my parents while being outdoors.
I always strive to grow and develop my education to be a better professional and steward of the natural world, but I could never find the right program for me. When I found Unity College, I knew I had found a good fit. From my first conversation, the staff could not have been more helpful. Everything was clearly laid out and any questions I had were answered quickly. Before I knew it, I was enrolled in the Master of Environmental Science Program! The class schedule allowed me to continue working full time and the small class sizes allowed for great interaction among my peers and professors.
I have taken several classes with Dr. Testa, and I cannot say enough positive things about how he leads his classes. I have learned so much in each of my classes with him. The water and soil resource management class has been my favorite by far. Dr. Testa developed a class that gave me real-world experiences in an online setting. Through discussions, videos, research articles, and various other materials, I was able to grasp the concepts presented better than in the physical classroom settings of my undergrad work. The course project was to create an environmental site assessment that looked at the impacts a proposed project would have on the local environment. With a plastic recycling plant proposed near my town, I was able to use the information I learned from Dr. Testa to educate local residents to better understand the potential impacts of this plant.
I hope to use the knowledge I gained at Unity College to advance my work within my current organization."
