An Interview With A Fellow Student: Romane Chavagnac

I love spending time with friends, knitting, and doing art as well. I am also a part of a student association called UniversiTerre, which is focused on sustainability. We put on different events about climate education on campus, we have a radio podcast, we hold conferences, and we work with students on sustainability issues. 

What language(s) do you speak? How do you say "Hello" in your language?:

I speak French, and a bit of English, German, and Norwegian. There are actually a few different ways to say "Hello". You can say Bonjour, Salut or even Coucou to just say "Hey" to your friends. 

Do you have pets?:

I do have a dog named Oslo. He is so funny. He is actually very smart, though he doesn't quite look it!

Have you traveled? Where have you traveled to?:

I have travelled quite a bit. I got to spend a year abroad in Bergen, Norway and then I spent another semester in Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago. I have also traveled around France as well as to Germany and Denmark. Next year, I will get to spend a semester in Innsbruck, Austria. 

What do you do for work?:

I am in my first year of my Master's at the Université Grenoble Alpes, studying Climate Systems: Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, and Cryosphere. 

Is there anything else you would like to say to students in the United States?:

I think the biggest thing I have to say is that I hope you don't give up on fighting for change for a more sustainable world and against climate change.
