UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAVEN • April 27, 2023
As part of her Bartels Scholarship, Nataly Urgiles, Class of ’25 at the University of New Haven in Connecticut, a first-generation student with a passion for conservation, will study at the Isle of Shoals Marine Laboratory in Maine this summer. She’s excited to gain experience in the field that will prepare her to become a scientist and educator. “When I discovered that beaches in the United States were cleaner than those in Ecuador, I was inspired to pursue a career as an educator and advocate for marine life preservation and minority communities,” she said.
