Well, it’s officially fall here at UConn’s Storrs campus. As the temperature starts to cool down the leaves begin to bleed their glorious autumn colors, which provides for such beautiful views in this area of Connecticut. Last week I visited the scenic Spring Valley Farm, where a group of students live and work together to produce food for UConn Dining Services, the Student Union Street Market, and Chuck and Augie’s restaurant on campus. Senior Trevor Biggs tells us about the internal workings of the farm and says that they have provided over 2000 pounds of food for UConn’s establishments so far this season. Trevor is also involved in the Native American Cultural Society on campus. Even though he is not Native American, he wishes to learn more about the lifestyle and heritage of those indigenous to our land.

Trevor told me what he loves most about college is that students can experiment with different activities in order to find their passion. He and I went to high school together and it’s great to hear about the journey he took to find his niche here at UConn. Trevor has always been a friendly, caring person who loves to learn. After graduation he plans to pursue a career in environmental science, but doesn’t want to stay in one sector for too long. Instead, he wishes to remain active in his field and is excited to explore the different opportunities available to him. With such great curiosity and boundless inspiration, Trevor’s knowledge base is sure to continue growing well after college.
