Michelle Rogat Memo 3 - Bioskecth 2020

I focused my thesis on the pathways and barriers for a company to becoming more sustainable and was able to carry out my research by interning at the Country Club of Troy. There I was able to see a couple projects through from start to end and have left them with future plans they hope to have the part time RPI undergrads that work there carry through as an internship experience. I graduated in the winter of 2014 with my Bachelors in Sustainability Studies from RPI.

I then went to study abroad for a semester at Singapore or Denmark. There my studies were focused on....

I came back to complete my Masters at RPI in the EEVP program and graduated in the Spring of 2017. From my work on industrial ecology I was able to start a movement in the Albany area of bringing about an eco-industrial park. I work with the Center for Economic Development and with members of Industrial Symbiosis (check the network on linkedin what they call themselves collectively)

It has been 3 years since that project started and it has been progressing well so far. It has connected with the Composting and Sustainable Food movement in Troy, which has it's municipal composting facility up ad running successfully. I worked closely with them on research to make this happen.

Marriage? Children? Travel abroad? Move to Europe? Visit Ireland? Australia?

Went back home and did some project with my high school to give back to those that initially fueled my academic career?
