Sofie Schwink

Program: Undergrad

Favorite university memory: During the summer after my freshman year, I biked from New York City to San Francisco with an organization called Illini 4000. It was unlike anything I've experienced before, and I'll never forget the people I met and the places we went.

Immediate future plans: In the fall, I'll begin a PhD in Environmental Engineering with a focus on indoor air quality and aerosols at the University of Colorado Boulder.

I want to give a special shout out to: I want to thank my mom for all our weekly lunches at Loomis and hikes after class. And I'd like to thank my sister and brother for always making time to get Thai food and talk about cats.
