Karen Gogins, Outreach & Education Project Coordinator

Karen, a native Minnesotan, recently graduated from Grinnell College with a degree in Anthropology and Environmental Studies. While at Grinnell, she worked as an Environmental Coordinator for the college's residence halls, served on the Student Environmental Committee, and volunteered as a water quality monitor for the Iowa DNR. Karen also played college basketball, and spent summers as a camp counselor and nature specialist. Her passion for water issues was sparked during a semester abroad in Tanzania where she conducted her own independent research regarding the drought's impacts on the Maasai tribe.
