Scholarship Spotlight: Maddie Stagg
Meet Maddie Stagg, a CSBS scholarship recipient and Environmental & Sustainability Studies major!
Stagg shared, "A transformative experience I had as an ESS student was when I took Environmental Justice with Adrienne. Throughout this class, I was able to participate in a Community Engaged Learning project, where I co-hosted a focus group with a community partner and a classmate. This focus group engaged with parents from Glendale whose children attended East High School, aiming to understand their experiences of having their children commute across the city to attend high school. The project aimed to better understand if a high school on the west side of the city, where there is none currently, could better serve the community's needs.
Participating in this project opened my eyes to inequalities in Salt Lake City and how their relations to environmental justice. It deepened my understanding of local issues and encouraged me to become involved with advocacy efforts to address these inequalities. "
