Hear from alumni
“Every career path is unique, and the unique experiences lead to places you may not anticipate…. the goal is to use your knowledge of the environment in work that fits you.”
— Carolina Costa-Giomi, SFU Environmental Science alumnus
“I thought environmental science was about humans’ impact on the environment,” says Jijie. “Turns out, it’s much more. It’s blending statistics, mathematics, biology, chemistry and physics to find environmental solutions.”
- Jijie Xu, SFU Environmental Science alumnus
