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\u2019s  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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s 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\u2019t 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\u2019s  knowledge base is sure to continue growing well after college.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 If you want to be featured on One Student.
