Annie Schnitzer, a wonderful Wellesley junior, was the first member of LEAP. Annie studied German language and culture at Wellesley and investigated the German coal industry as Germany undergoes the transition to fully renewable energy resources.

The internship this summer taught me to think critically and analytically, offering me an experience that cannot be found in the classroom. With Dr. Droege’s support and guidance, I even had the chance to learn about various masters programs in the field of sustainable development and urban design. It was truly a wonderful summer and I am deeply grateful for each and every moment, they are ones I will never forget.”
