Lauren Grampp, Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology & Sustainable Aquaculture, Unity College class of 2022.
"I chose Unity College because it provided me the flexibility to be a mom and earn a degree in a field I always dreamed of obtaining a career in. Discovering that Unity offered a Marine Biology degree was a dream come true for me in the dark days of the pandemic and homeschooling my kids.
My favorite professor was Dr. Maureen Drinkard, she kept us engaged in the coursework and was always there to support me and lend a hand when I needed it. My favorite class was Introduction to Oceanography, I didn't know until this course the vastness of the ocean or the true importance of the ecosystems that inhabit the ocean.
The biggest takeaway from my education at Unity was being able to engage in the coursework and utilize the material in real-world locations near me, feeling accepted by peers was something I missed in the previous schooling and was happy to receive. I hope to work with large mammal conservation and large predator conservation to ensure that these often misunderstood animals have a voice.
The definition of resilience is, "the capacity of a person to maintain their core purpose and integrity in the face of dramatically changed circumstances". Don't quit even when you get discouraged. Remember you chose this path for a purpose you are resilient.
