\"Carlee

Carlee Sedgwick is pursuing two Oregon State bachelor’s degrees online \u2013 one in sustainability, and another in sociology with an option in environmental and natural resource.<\/p><\/div>\n

Family history shifted her path to OSU, where she indulges her passion for the environment<\/h2>\n

Prior to exploring my options with different universities and modes of instruction, I wasn’t planning on going to college.<\/p>\n

Boy, am I glad that idea didn’t stick.<\/p>\n

I found out about Oregon State University Ecampus through my parents, who both attended the brick-and-mortar campus in Corvallis way back in 1980s. (Sorry, guys.)<\/p>\n

Share story<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

My family has moved around a lot throughout the years, and we have been lucky enough to visit and live in some really incredible places. I went to an international high school in Perth, Australia, and had the opportunity to meet some amazing lifelong friends and connect with a beautiful part of the world.<\/p>\n

My love of travel and my family’s nomadic nature made OSU Ecampus a very appealing option. Fast forward to me now, nearing the end of my junior year. I expect to graduate around fall 2021 with a double degree in sustainability<\/a> and sociology<\/a> with an option in environmental and natural resources.<\/p>\n

Carlee with her loyal dog, Poppy.<\/p><\/div>\n

I think my favorite part about Ecampus, besides the community and approachability of all the faculty, is the overall flexibility allowed through online classes. I became an aunt late last year, and I was able to finish the majority of my fall term courses while visiting family and celebrating the holiday season in\u00a0Western Australia.<\/p>\n

When I graduate, I am hoping to apply to graduate school on the Oregon State campus in Corvallis. I want to continue my education before pursuing a career that involves conservation, environmental justice or really anything to do with environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n

Having my family’s (including my dog Poppy’s) unending support has meant everything to me. I am forever grateful to them, and to OSU Ecampus for allowing me to achieve goals that I once thought would be impossible.<\/p>\n

I am excited for the next few years to come and can’t wait to be spending them at Oregon State. Go Beavs!<\/p>\n
