Skyler Aucoin-Wright

Born and raised in a very small town in north-eastern Maine, I grew-up enjoying the outdoors and the activities that are associated with it; hiking, camping, snowboarding, etc. With this appreciation of the outdoors environment, as well as growing up in an "off-grid" household, sustained by a wind turbine, solar panels, and an outdoor wood furnace, I gained a great appreciation for the environment and sustainability. I came to Wilkes University for the "small school" environment and small, involved class size that I have been accustomed to for the majority of my life. I was also attracted by their strong engineering programs and facilities on campus. So far, I am enjoying my major and the experience I am learning within it. I can't wait to be a part of the work force and to contribute my knowledge to something bigger than myself.
