...And What Are They Doing In Kenya?

Hannah is working with the Caylor Lab at the Mpala Research Center, located in the highlands of central Kenya. Thanks to the gracious sponsorship of the Princeton Environmental Institute, she is collaborating with two other Princeton undergraduates on understanding the ways in which the hydrologic cycle affects land degradation in dry ecosystems. She hopes that this entails a lot of dusty, sweaty field work.

Elizabeth is working with Seureca, an engineering consulting firm for international Veolia Water, in Mombasa, Kenya. This internship placement is sponsored by Princeton International Internship Program (IIP) and will allow Elizabeth to learn what it actually means to be an engineer who works with water systems. Hopefully it will mean breaking open and testing broken water pipes, repairing them and bringing clean water to the masses since this is she has been dreaming of from the tender age of 17.
