Asa student in the Natural Resources Program, Britton will successfully complete a rigorous four-year course of study. ‘Throughout, he has remained at the top academically, for each Natural Resources classes, and is in the top 10% of his graduating class overall. Britton has a genuine thirst for knowledge, always asking thoughtful questions and offering alternative explanations during lab investigations. He analyzes data objectively and can explain underlying concepts in clear language. Additionally, | feel confident that when I assign Britton a task, he will think it though before acting.
