Meet the EcoReps – Jayla Cornelius ’23

Hometown – Atlanta, GA

How do you engage with sustainability?

I enjoy educating myself more about environmental justice issues and finding ways to reduce waste on campus such as litter cleanups. 

What do you study and why?

I study Civil and Environmental Engineering on campus because I love combining math and science with how we can better take care of our environment. A lot of construction projects intersect with environmental issues which is why I want the focus of my career to be helping mitigate the displacement of people in urban spaces. 

What other campus groups are you involved with?
