HOW DOES MY PROJECT RELATE TO MY MAJOR AND OTHER

INTERESTS?

I AM A MEMBER OF THE ASPCA

I WANT TO BE A LAWYER & POSSIBLY GO INTO THE NEW

FIELD OF ANIMAL LAW.

HOW DID MY PROJECT HELP MY UNDERTANDING OF SENSE OF PLACE & SUSTAINABILITY?

The sanctuary provided me with a sense of place because it is in my

neighborhood and I also was able to feel close to and comfortable with the animals. I felt at home and almost like I never wanted to leave. The sanctuary is

sustainable in that they have used nature that was already on the

property to create enclosures for the animals, they recycle, use compost and

non abrasive products – they do as much to be self sustainable as possible.

HOW DID MY PROJECT HELP MY UNDERTANDING OF SENSE OF PLACE & SUSTAINABILITY? Continued…

Through spending time outdoors with the animals in nature, getting close with the animals and understanding their surroundings. Although they are not in the wild, they still have the natural wild sense about them and because of their pasts, you have to gain the trust and get to know them.

HOW DID MY PROJECT CONNECT WITH COLLOQUIUM?

A lot of the material in Colloquium related to the natural world. For example, the Colloquium reader, discussions, & A Land Remembered all dealt with becoming one with the natural world. Doing my project at Shy

Wolf allowed me to be able to relate to the readings and discussions through hands-on experience. Learning through readings and movies are

one thing but hands-on is truly life changing. I am going to continue to help at the Sanctuary even after this project because of the experience

and help that I get from nature and the animals.
