Allen Yuan (he/him) is a rising junior at the University of Maryland, where he is a recent graduate of the Design, Cultures, and Creativity Living Learning Program in the Honors College. He is currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science and Policy with a concentration in Wildlife Ecology and Management, which he hopes to use to aid in creating a sustainable future that is not only environmentally-sound but also successfully serves every demographic. His interest in environmental science began with a childhood obsession with cetaceans, which has unwaveringly transferred to the present. Allen’s hobbies include baking, figure skating, sitting out in the sun, and hanging out with friends. He served as a Youth Advisor and Junior Faculty Advisor for the 2022 edition of WYSE and is ecstatic to be back at it again! He hopes to help make WYSE 2023 as special and valuable of an experience as it was for him!
