Prof. John Katers: So the Industrial Pollution Control class
this year is fairly unique because we’ve got essentially four international students
-- one from Germany, one from Switzerland, one from Spain and one from Kenya. And along
with that, we also had a visiting instructor from Chile. So with that group we essentially
had four continents represented, which was very interesting.
Marina Hauser: I’m Marina Hauser; I’m from Switzerland.
I study Environmental Science and I’m here for four years.
Michael Hannemann: I’m Michael Hannemann. I’m from Germany,
Frankfurt, and I’m studying Environmental Sciences and Policy, my graduate program.
Rodrigo Canibano: I’m Rodrigo Canibano. I’m from Spain and
I’m studying in Leon.
Sravani Karnam: Hi I’m Sravani Karnam. I’m an international
student from Kenya, and I’m studying Environmental Science and Chemistry.
Prof. Alex Godoy: I am visiting professor from Chile; this is
my second time here. And now I am so happy to be teaching here in Environmental Science
and in Humanistic Studies.
Katers: That’s one of the questions I always like
to ask the students, is ‘why did you come to Green Bay?’ And again I think we do have
a very strong environmental reputation, both on the ecological side but and also on the
physical sciences side as well, which would include pollution and water quality and those
types of issues. So I think that really is a draw.
Karnam: This class has focused a lot on industrial
aspects of pollution control. It’s given us hands-on experience about how every industry
works here in Green Bay. The regulations in the U.S. (are) very different compared to
regulations in a developing country like Kenya.
Hannemann: I think Environmental Science is an international
issue or international behavior, so I think it’s good that all the international people
are here, also in the U.S., to hear about the environmental programs or environmental
issues.
Godoy: When you can share the class with people from
around the world, you can open your mind.
