"Education, environmental justice, women’s health, chemistry — at first glance, the different passions that Alison Cohen ’09 pursues seem loosely connected.

Alison received her degrees this past May in Community Health and Education Studies, with a focus on Education History and Policy. She will be studying chemicals regulation in the European Union on a Fulbright grant next year. Last year, Cohen was awarded the Morris K. Udall Scholarship, a federally funded award that recognizes student leadership in fields related to the environment.
