Recently, I featured an NBC Nightly News special on the ASU School of Sustainability. In my excitement, I forgot to tie in how it applies to my major.
Urban + Metropolitan Studies is the foundation for all things that relate to the quality of life in the dense urban areas as well as entire regions. Sustainability is the new paradigm in quality of life for everyone on this planet - from the urban centers of the world's most dense cities to the Amazon rainforest in South America or the ice caps at the north and south poles.
It is my career goal to get an MPA (Master's in Public Administration). Armed with knowledge of urban quality-of-life as well as planetary quality-of-life, making this world a better place is the core of who I will become.
Now, all I have to do is decide if I want to minor in sustainability or add it as a second major...
