Haley Ware graduated from the University of Illinois in May 2020 with a Bachelor’s of Science as an NRES major with a concentration in Human Dimensions and a Spatial and Quantitative Methods minor. Since her freshman year, Haley has been working on climate mitigation with the Leverhulme Climate Mitigation Project as a field and lab technician. She joined the van Riper lab in 2018. Mentored by Nate Shipley, Haley looks to understand the relationship between place meaning and sustainable agricultural practices in the Kaskaskia Watershed. With a background in social and natural sciences, her goals are driven by an intense desire to connect people with nature and to understand human-nature connections that influence pro-environmental behavior.
