A Gregory Mitchell Story: My Student Introduction

Hey, my name is Gregory Mitchell, and I am a sophomore in the Community, Environment, and Development major, currently with the International Development option. My current plans also include eventually double majoring in Economics, and double minoring in Global Health and Environmental Inquiry. I first became interested in international development and global health when I went on a service trip with my church to Panama. While on the trip, I was primarily involved with the medical team, where I tested blood sugar and helped run the clinics. My interest developed further as I joined the Model United Nations team during my senior year in high school. At most conferences I focused on issues dealing with development, specifically global health and women's rights. I hope to gain a more holistic and thorough understanding of development from this class, along with a better understanding of possible career paths after graduation.
