"I originally chose to attend Eastern Illinois University to pursue a general education. I quickly fell in love with the geography department, and specifically the weather portion. I started taking classes and decided to change my major to environmental/physical geography. I love the outdoors and everything that comes with geography. I heavily enjoyed doing weather research, as well as daily observations."Samantha HuckstepClass of 2025, environmental/physical geography major
