Justina (Chey) Thompson, Vasudha RA

Although one may say hugging trees is a pretty clear way to show passion for the environment, Justina’s involvement in campus activities does a decent job of that as well. Studying Sustainability and Design in the HASS department, she is working to better understand ways to establish sustainable design as the core of urban communities. When she’s not in class, she’s most likely in the Student Success office answering phones, presenting in the Bystander Intervention Peer Education program, sitting on a Student Sustainability Talk Force Meeting, working on club budgets as a member of the Union Executive Board, or planning programs for residents of Vasudha! Off campus, Justina is a Youth Educator at the Radix Ecological Sustainability Center in Albany. In her free time, she likes to visit State parks and nature preserves, and keep up with Steven Universe!
