Theresa L. Conn, a sophomore University Honors Student from Billerica, Massachusetts, is pursuing a bachelor of science degree in environmental conservation studies. An outdoorswoman by inclination, she is an active hiker and runner but also likes the quiet activity of crafts. Her internship on Cape Cod National Seashore came about through a visit to the Hamel Center for Undergraduate Research where she saw a poster from the Student Conservation Association and applied. On campus, she works at the Office of Student Involvement and Leadership at the MUB, and she has an internship with the New Hampshire State Parks, where she is their Parks Blogger (blog.nhstateparks.org). Even though her sights are on New Hampshire this year, she says that every day on the Cape in the summer of 2011 was an inspiring learning experience for her.
