Willem Martin, Geology student, '22

"I will graduate with a B.S. in Geology with a Certificate in Geographic Information Systems. After graduation, I will be moving to Albuquerque to work with the New Mexico Wilderness Alliance as a GIS Analyst Intern with the opportunity to make it a permanent position. I am grateful to have found a position with an organization whose mission and values strongly align with mine. College is a rewarding yet challenging experience. I would like to thank my STEM3 TRIO community for supporting me on my journey through college. The ability to register for classes early and get advised in a timely manner helped me graduate on time. I would like to give a special thank you to Cacia and Tim, they have been the most friendly and supportive advisors I have had here at Fort Lewis. "
