The 2020 ENST Student Leadership Award cknowledges the work of an ENST major who goes above and beyond their coursework to engage in community. Evie made an impression on many ENST affiliated faculty-- as well as the NAS faculty who teach in her second major. Evie’s work in Appropriate Technology, on the budding Food Sovereignty Lab, at Potowat Community Garden, and elsewhere, have made huge impacts on those projects and places. It has been an absolute honor to watch Evie channel her passions and commitments in these ways in her time at HSU.
