Stacy Thomas (Class of 2009)

Stacy ThomasStacy served as an Americorps volunteer with the Maine Department of Environmental Protection, where she talked with elementary school classes and lake associations about how to reduce non-point source pollution around their homes and neighborhoods. As the Environmental Affairs Coordinator for Southeast Chicago Development Commission, she often served as a liaison between local citizens, businesses, and government agencies on environmental justice issues in an industrial neighborhood.”

“The Master of Arts program seemed like a good fit with my undergraduate background in environmental history. My placement as a Graduate Public Service Intern at the Illinois EPA adds to my professional experience while I earn my degree at UIS – and provides a tuition waiver! I plan to graduate in 2007 with a concentration in Natural Resources Management and Sustainable Development.”
