Mid Coast Today

Dylan recently took the Wildlife Ecology and Management course at Unity College with Dr. Bonnie Gulas-Wroblewski.

I joined the Air Force as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician straight out of high school, I thought I'd never go to school again. I've been in the Air Force for 11 years now and I've lived in Florida, Colorado, Turkey, Guam, and my current location, Germany. Around 2017, I changed my mind and changed my degree plan to Environmental Science with a focus on fish and wildlife management, I finished that degree in June of 2021.

I am pursuing my master's degree in wildlife conservation and management. Unity offered the exact program that I was looking for at a lesser price than the other few schools I found with the same program. Also, Unity seemed to have a good reputation for what I had read. And the motto "America's Environmental College" kind of stood out to me.

Dr. Gulas-Wroblewski was the most engaged instructor/professor I've had in an online course. I've found that a lot of instructors are there just to mediate, but Dr. G had valuable input during all the discussion posts and assignments, and she was constantly challenging us with questions during the discussions. It was nice to have an instructor that seemed to genuinely care about educating their students.

I'll retire from the Air Force in 9 years, and from there I'd like to end up in Tennessee working at a state or national park as a wildlife manager. But who knows, I've been to more than 30 countries, and I've fallen in love with traveling, so I might try to find a job that incorporates both travel and wildlife management if that exists.
