Meet The Forum Team: Julia Olszewski
Julia is first year candidate in the Master of Environmental Management program at the Yale School of the Environment. Unsurprisingly I am in the “Energy and the Environment” specialization, which offers a cool fusion of quantitative and qualitative courses looking at the many facets of the energy world. I’m hoping to get involved in some energy economics or related research once I have a semester under my belt. I’ve recently become interested in the Industrial Ecology and Green Chemistry (IEGC)
