UWT Environmental Science Alums at work with WA State Department of Natural Resources

"A love for science is the first step toward a career that uses science. The love of science cannot be taught, however the building blocks that will help you use science can be taught. The UWT has a depth of professors and instructors that will show you the roads to the discipline that you will need to become a success."
