Alexandra Dwyer,   EPA  PHYSICAL SCIENCES 
617-918-1150  <Dwyer.Alexandra@epa.gov>  
 Former President of Women in Geosciences
Graduated from college in 2022  "Physical scientists study the relationships between matter, energy, and other physical phenomena. "

["In May 2023  ] I graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor's of Science in Geoscience and a Bachelor's of Arts in Environmental Studies from Hobart and William Smith Colleges (HWS). I am honored to exit HWS as junior-elected member of the Zeta Chapter of The Phi Beta Kappa Society, a Goldwater Scholar, and a former NOAA Hollings Scholar. My experience at the Colleges has been life changing, one that has both allowed and pushed me to become the best version of myself as a thinker, researcher, communicator, colleague, and friend.

The skills that I have gained as a Geoscience Teaching Fellow, an Atmospheric Science Research Assistant, and a research intern for NOAA's National Sea Grant Office would not have been possible without support and opportunity from the Geoscience Department, particularly from Neil Laird and Nicholas Metz.

Looking ahead, I am beyond excited to enter into the world of climate and environmental sustainability, and to begin realizing the impact that I can make. Thank you, thank you, HWS!"
