Meet the EcoReps – Mariam Elawady ’26

Hometown – Chino Hills, CA

How do you engage with sustainability?

In my day to day life, I engage with sustainability by overall carrying myself with environmental consciousness. Doing little things like making sure to recycle my coffee cups, being conscious about my water use, and turning off the lights in my dorm room help me reduce my footprint and be as sustainable as possible. I also try to keep myself educated and updated on sustainability, whether it be on campus or as a global citizen.

What do you study and why?

I am considering majoring in either mol bio or EEB because I have always been really passionate about the living sciences. Not only is biology fascinating, but it can be used to make such a big impact on the world around us.

What other campus groups are you involved with?

Besides being a busy student and an EcoRep, I am also involved in the Princeton Arab Society as the social chair!

What do you like to do in your free time?

In my free time (when I have it) I love painting, going on walks, binge watching Netflix, and staying up talking to my friends.

Share a fun fact about yourself!

I have a twin brother, I did mixed martial arts for 6 years, and I am trying to visit every continent by the end of my college career!
