George Eagleston

George is an undergraduate working toward a degree in Environmental Science and Sustainability. He grew up watching people around him making a positive impact for the environment on the policy side, private side, and scientific side, and wants to try and make an impact in all three. He loves anything outdoors, from mountain climbing to river rafting to fishing, and wants to keep those special for generations to come.

Gavin Weber

Gavin Weber is an undergraduate working towards a degree in Biostatistics with a minor in Global and Communities Impact. He loves trail running, speaking Spanish in South American countries, a well (or badly) cooked pastry, learning about how to be a responsible steward of the earth’s resources, and jumping in with both feet into wholesome projects. He loves seeing how science and data analysis can be used as instruments in God’s hands, and hopes to leave a positive impact on all communities, environments, and people he works with!
