Etha McDonough

Ethan was a second-year dean's list student dual major in Political Science and Sustainability. As a nontraditional student, Ethan balanced work and education. Outside of academics, he likes to backpack internationally and gain new experiences and connections. As an intern at CREW,Communities Responding to Extreme Weather, Ethan was excited about becoming an agent of change while also growing his professional skill set. During the Semester in the City, he seeked to expand his network of change-makers and professionals, Hone and improve organizational and public speaking tools, and gain experience in a professional setting. Ethan helped CREW put together an inter-sectional panel discussion that will help raise awareness and preparedness within communities that are at risk of extreme weather events. It is this kind of grassroots approach to problem-solving that makes Ethan so interested in CREW, and other climate orientated nonprofits.
