Elizabeth Hadzima "My passion for studying geology and government comes from my curiosity in understanding how individuals and groups of people relate to the physical world and how to create policies that reflect that relationship." "I have had a tremendous number of opportunities available to me over [my junior] year and have developed a deeper interest in environmental policy." "My government minor has allowed me to study politics with greater depth so that I may apply my interest in environmental policy. This policy/government focus, along with my science background, will prepare me for the type of work I hope to pursue."
Libby Hadzima Even though Elizabeth Hadzima hasn't graduated from Dartmouth College, she has already begun to make her mark as a legal and scientific journal contributor. Combining law with science comes naturally to her: she is an Environmental Earth Science major, with double minors in government and public policy. She has also received hands-on experience in public policy through two internship assignments, as well as political campaign work. In the winter 2005 edition of the Dartmouth College Undergraduate Journal of Law, Libby analyzed "the adoption of pollution into jurisdiction under traditional trespass law." She described a 1979 landmark case that became "one of the earliest incorporations of environmental law into the traditional American law regime." She also reviewed Richard B. Alley's "The Two-Mile Time Machine: Ice Cores, Abrupt Climate Change, and Our Future", a re-examination of the greenhouse gas debate, in the spring 2005 issue of the Dartmouth Undergraduate Journal of Science. In the spring, she moved to Washington, DC, to take a Dartmouth seminar, as well as to intern at the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC). "I had an amazing opportunity to engage in environmental policy, politics, and advocacy by working directly with head lobbyists at the NRDC." This past summer, she did a second internship--in the Integrated Site Closure/ Regulatory & Compliance Department of ENSR International, a global environmental consulting firm in Boston. Now she is working on a campaign to elect Andrea Silbert as Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts and advising the candidate on environmental issues. Earlier at Dartmouth, Libby became a Dickey Center Intern in Costa Rica, conducting agricultural research and studying coffee cooperative law in Costa Rica. She is determined "to return to my co-op worksite where I helped implement organic farming principles and policies at the cooperative level." A graduate of Milton Academy, she loves spending time outdoors. She hopes to combine her academic interests in geology and politics through the field of environmental law and policy. After completing her studies at Dartmouth, she hopes to move to the West Coast, exploring a new part of the USA after going to college in New England. |
