Dear reader, I'm Nathan Straffon and am currently a junior at Hiram. I'm set to graduate in May 2012 with a degree in Biomedical Humanities and Sociology. My emphasis will be on environmental studies. I look forward to joining the Peace Corps after I graduate and plan to dedicate myself to social work from here on out! This trip around the world has opened my eyes to the impact of the human species on the environment, and encouraged me towards a sustainable future. I am currently working on a Sustainable Campus Improvement Fund (SCIF) for Hiram College with the group Student Organized Sustainability.
