Oh I almost forgot!
I also want to talk to someone on the SIS Advisory Board about the new green SIS building that is in the works and why AU has decided to make this move to be more environmentally friendly, even after having a campus so full of plant life that I can't go outside without sneezing. Allergies suck, but plants are pretty!
Do I smell an interview coming?!?!
So I finally figured out who is going to be helping me out with my first interview, and that person is the lovely Angelina Upshaw!
Angelina is very into the environment and is actually doing a Washington Semester program next semester that includes a trip to Ghana and the Galapagos Islands to do all sorts of environmentally friendly things, so I figured she would be great to talk to about why she is so interested in making this a "greener world" and what she thinks is going to happen in the future when it comes to alternative energy sources!!!
Her email is angelina.upshaw@american.edu
