Student, Faculty and Staff Features

Lexis is a sustainable student who is very involved across campus. Lexis is the co-chair of the educational outreach committee for SFS, the lead Spring Environmental Summit planner, the Earth Grant Program Assistant, a Bio/Diversity Project intern, and a Doris Duke Conservation Scholar.

Maya's favorite environment-related experience is the summer she lived in Colorado and interned at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory. She conducted her own research project and hiked in the mountains every day! Maya specialized in stream ecology and aquatic insect research to study how they related to food webs in alpine streams.

We're thrilled to have one of last year's student cohort members, Lexis Meza, join our educational team this year as the Earth Grant Program Assistant. As Program Assistant, Lexis is co-facilitating leadership development workshops, managing our social media, and supporting outreach activities. We thought we’d sit down with Lexis and ask her a few questions, as an introduction to the Earth Grant community.
