Meet The Interns

Jenna Bettschen

Hello! I grew up in a small town in Long Prairie, Minnesota. My interest in the outdoors and saving the planet led me to major in Marketing with a minor in Sustainability and Business Organizations at the University of Minnesota Duluth. I signed up to be a member of the sustainability club at UMD to push our campus to be a more eco-friendly community. Within the last year, I rescued B, the pup in the picture. She has brought nothing but happiness and laughter into my world. I am currently working with Glenn and Emily as their marketing communication specialist and it has been a great experience so far! By being a part of the Carlton community, I get to document the wonderful events and people online to share everyone's stories with others around the country. I am excited to keep growing our networks with OACC!

Felicia Galvan

My name is Felicia Galvan, and I grew up in Mounds View, Minnesota. I am currently in my 3rd year at the University of Minnesota Morris (UMM). I became involved with the Center for Small Towns (CST) during my second semester at UMM, when I was a freshman wanting to branch out at my campus. Through CST, I've been able to explore small towns in Minnesota through survey work and interview work revolving food co-ops, farming, and now learning and celebrating our pollinators! I am very excited to not only work with a new group of passionate people, but see all the lines of work their projects do to care and foster education, knowledge, and excitement for pollinators and the like. I'm very much looking forward to becoming involved.

Thursday January 23, 6pm - Magnolia Salon Returns!

After a brief respite and rethink, Magnolia Salon will begin again!

We miss our time with all of you.

TED MAY - JANUARY 23

a dedicated environmentalist for the past 50 years who has a passionate love for birds.

Volunteering in Costa Rica is both vacation and service in one – working with wonderful people in a beautiful country where people are increasingly dedicated to environmental restoration within a tiny country that contains 6% of the global biodiversity (10% of the birds). Ted will share experiences from two 2019 trips to Costa Rica, with an emphasis upon birds and volunteering, and the joys of each. He will also describe wonderful volunteer opportunities at varying times of the year at four locations on Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula, and invite you to participate in person or vicariously in volunteering and/or birding trips in future years.
