Eden Lewis - Visual Artist, Writer, Educator
I am an artist and senior currently attending Ithaca High School. After my high school education, I will continue my learning at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, studying environmental science. Throughout the summer I worked to help create curriculum to teach young kids about environmentalism and climate change. My hopes in working with the CUMEP students are to teach them about the environment through art, and create future environmental leaders.
