    Intended major: Earth and Environmental Sciences, Astronomy
    Intended minor: Planetary Science
    Extracurriculars: Astronomy Research (all year), E&ES Research (Summer 2024)

    Hi, I’m Carlos Ordonez. I am currently a Junior (2025) at Wesleyan University. My plan is to major in E&ES and Astronomy and do a minor in Planetary Sciences. So far, I've been focusing on what I want to do at Wesleyan, seeking out opportunities, as well as meeting students with similar interests. When I have time, I like to get some food and/or beer with fellow vets or friends from school. When I don't have anything to do and it's sunny out, I like to go on hour-long motorcycle rides. If you have any questions about family housing on campus, Astronomy, E&ES or motorcycles feel free to reach out.

    Hi, I’m Desaree Edwards. I’m a Junior, class of 2025. I’m planning to major in Neuroscience and Behavior and minor in Human Rights Advocacy.

    Extracurriculars: rugby, reserves

    Hi, I’m Taylor Tjosaas, class of 2024, Neuroscience and Behavior. (Still trying to figure what I want to be when I grow up). Outside of class I play Rugby and work at my reserve unit. In my free time, I enjoy tinkering on the sprinter van and taking it out to the woods with my partner.
    If someone has questions about living with their non-spouse partner on campus, returning to school after a long time off, or balancing reserve life as a full-time student; I can share my experiences in these areas.
