My participation in this research project complements my academic coursework as I have come to further understand the complexities of decision-making within and among multiple levels of government. Brownfield redevelopment is a multifaceted and interdisciplinary subject, with far-reaching social, political and scientific impacts on the community. Contributing to weekly meetings with the NCUR-Lancy group and my experiences with political actors have given me the ability to see the challenging opportunities the City faces rather than just it’s recurring problems. Professionally, I have learned that it is important to persistently seek guidance from faculty mentors; understanding their intentions and the target objectives of the assignment is essential to formulating and completing a useful, successful project. Through my MUSE experience, I have developed advanced analytical and interpersonal skills that will be of invaluable assistance to my future academic career. I am excited to continue learning about brownfields as I write my Senior Thesis in the fall semester.
