Hello, all! My name is Cara Antonaccio and I am a senior majoring in Health Policy and African Studies. I attended Penn State at U Park and loved every minute of it. Now, I live in New Jersey and am working at the Department of Health Management. I am taking this course in place of EARTH 105 (Environments of Africa). This is my last semester at Penn State and I will be attending Johns Hopkins in the fall for graduate studies in Population, Family, and Reproductive Health.
I am interested in EARTH 107 course material because I realize that with climate change and broader human influence on coastal processes, many communities are faced with vulnerable livelihoods and unsure futures. This will affect health in many ways, which I hope to brainstorm across the course of EARTH 107. I look forward to discussing these issues with all of you!
