Jenny is having a blast exploring southeast Asia while taking a gap semester to focus on her climate advocacy!

Jenny Jang is a long-time resident of Ann Arbor and a sophomore at Eastern Michigan University where she is majoring in Environmental Science. Like many young people, Jenny grew up confronting the reality that our planet’s future was uncertain. She views climate advocacy as a way of regaining some control over what the future holds. Jenny is eager to be a part of this change, and believes that advocating for pro-climate legislation is one of the most important things we can do to drive it.

This spring, Jenny will be applying her passion to CCL’s work as a college outreach intern. She will primarily be supporting our efforts to directly reach out to institutions, faculty, and students. Jenny will also be hosting welcome meetings with new college student members of CCL. This is Jenny’s first internship, and she’s approaching it with curiosity and an open-minded. She is particularly looking forward to meeting like-minded people that she can both support and learn from.

Jenny is also keeping pretty busy this semester, even as she’s taking a gap semester from classes. She’s spending the spring traveling across southeast Asia! This is no surprise, given that one of her hobbies is exploring new places. She also enjoys listening to music and watching movies, and one of her favorites is 10 Things I Hate About You. When she’s home, you’ll also see her taking walks with her two pet maltese! We are so excited to work with Jenny and see how she brings her candor and taste for exploration to our work.
