"My future hopes are to never stop learning and to work toward breaking down the communication
barriers between environmental scientists and the general public," Moats said.
Why did you choose to attend WVU Davis College?
I chose to attend the WVU Davis College due to the uniqueness of my major, sense of community and
opportunities that the Davis College has to offer.
What was your most valuable experience at Davis College?
Working with the incredible faculty and staff who have given me the guidance and opportunities I
needed to succeed.
What advice do you have for current Davis College students?
I think many of my fellow students do not use the resources of Davis College to the fullest. Taking the first
step and attending events or speaking to faculty goes a long way.
What advice do you have for high school students?
Similar to my advice to Davis College students, I think that once at college, students should reach out to faculty. The
answer is always no until you ask--whether it's an internship, SURE program or even just to explain an
absence. Many
students are reluctant to speak to faculty members.
However, I have never had a difficult
or bad experience.
Students often forget that professors were once in our
exact place.
