Colleen Dollard

Colleen Dollard is a double major in Geography and Maritime Studies with a focus on environmental economics and policy at the UConn Avery Point Campus. She grew up on Long Island Sound, which was the catalyst for her interest in the coastal environment. Colleen’s studies at UConn have focused primarily on the coastal environment, environmental protection, and the relationship between humans and the environment. She interned with the Connecticut Institute for Resilience and Climate Adaptation (CIRCA) for over a year and has also worked with DEEP. After graduation, she hopes to work in either the environmental policy or education fields. Outside of her studies, Colleen enjoys hiking, cooking, and being out on or in the water.
