For environmental sciences student Kenna Talhelm, studying abroad in Sweden and Norway wasn’t just about seeing new places — it was about seeing the world, and her future, differently.
Through the International Sustainable Resource Use study abroad program, Kenna spent a month learning about sustainability and natural resource use across Scandinavia. Her experience took her from hiking in Abisko National Park and exploring the landscapes of northern Sweden to visiting an iron-ore mine and climate research station, learning about sustainable urban design and cruising through Norway’s breathtaking fjords.
"This study abroad experience really reaffirmed my interest in urban design and planning," Talhelm said. "As we travelled throughout Sweden and Norway, I found myself drawn to the ways in which their cities were designed differently from ours and how that allows them to live in such cold weather and to be more sustainable."
