Maxim Grigri

My name is Maxim Grigri. I was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, however, I grew up mostly in South Jersey in a small 1-square-mile town called Wenonah. I am 50% french, and I have been to France more times than I can count to visit family.I came to Ithaca College in 2009 as a health science major, but soon found my calling in Environmental Science. In my time spent at Ithaca College, I have not only gained extensive knowledge in the natural sciences, but I have gained a unique, interdisciplinary understanding of modern global issues. In addition, I graduated from a National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) semester in India, on which I learned to navigate the back country and lead outdoor adventure activities. I graduate from Ithaca College in the Spring of 2013, and I look forward to joining Clean Air-Cool Planet to study the ecological impact of White-Bark Pine decline in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
