Elyse Mitchell Student Introduction

Hey! My name is Elyse Mitchell and I am junior studying CED in the International Development option. I'm from the town of Vienna which is located directly outside of Washington D.C. in the great state of Virginia. I am interested in CED because of the various subjects it is related to including sustainability, social issues, economics and agriculture. Specifically I want to do research abroad studying international agriculture and sustainable development in rural areas. From this class I hope to learn about issues in economics, the humanities and environment from a global standpoint and how development comes into play. In my spare time I enjoy reading, playing the guitar and traveling. I recently joined the Student Farm here on campus and hope to get more engaged in ag related clubs.
