Angie Crenshaw '04

Blowing In the Wind

Is the answer to the nation's fossil fuel dependency blowing in the wind?

Angela Crenshaw '04 thinks so. She visited campus recently to present "The Case for Wind Power in the United States: A Possible Source for Climate Change" as part of the Joseph H. McLain '37 lecture series.

Crenshaw, the 2004 George Washington Medal winner, graduated with a degree in environmental studies and economics, and then earned a master's degree in energy and environmental policy from the University of Delaware. She is now an environmental planner for Mid-Atlantic Regional Air Management Association, raising awareness about alternative and renewable energy sources such as wind power.

"Wind power can help reverse the trend of global warming and climate control and reduce the harmful effects of fossil fuels on humans and the environment," notes Crenshaw. "When Dr. Munson asked me to visit campus to speak about this critical topic, I was more than honored."

The George Washington Medal is the College's highest academic honor, given to the senior who shows the greatest promise of understanding and realizing in life and work the ideals of a liberal education.
