Profiles Showcase

Our students, faculty, and alumni are making a difference in the world.

A person smiling while paddling a bright lime green kayak on calm, open blue water under a clear sunny sky. — Professor Kathleen Stewart

Close-up selfie of a smiling man with round glasses, a full graying beard, and a dark shirt on the outdoor deck of a boat. In the background, other passengers sit in chairs looking out toward a riverfront city skyline with buildings and a lush, tree-lined hill under a partly cloudy sky. — David Minor, Senior Faculty Specialist

A young man in a light blue t-shirt stands next to a whiteboard framed on a plain wall. He has short brown hair, crossed arms, and points back over his shoulder toward the board with a slight smile. On the whiteboard, drawn in black marker, block letters spell out "GEOGRAPHY CLUB IS BACK!" with a globe integrated into the letter 'O' and an illustration of a sea turtle below the text whose shell resembles a world map. — Joseph Massaro, ENSP-Land Use & GIS '24, MS GEOINT '27

Close-up portrait of a man with short brown hair and round glasses, wearing a dark plaid button-up shirt and a black smartwatch. He is sitting at a wooden desk with his arms crossed, looking forward with a neutral expression. — John Jasen, Director of IT

A woman with shoulder-length wavy dark hair smiling warmly at the camera. She is wearing a grey wool coat with a faux-fur collar and a small pendant necklace. She is standing indoors in front of a window with closed white blinds; a red plant is partially visible in the background. — Anna Wood, Research Coordinator

A man wearing a headlamp and chest waders stands knee-deep in a dark body of water at night. He's smiling and holding a white plastic bucket in one hand and a large, blue reusable shopping bag in the other. The headlamp illuminates the person and the immediate surface of the still water, while the background shows a dark shoreline under a dim, night sky. — Assistant Professor Danghan Xie

A woman enjoying a warm campfire, seated comfortably on the ground, with trees in the background. — Tali Schwelling, Faculty Specialist

Young man smiles at the camera, wearing a long-sleeved shirt and a tie — Daniel O'Neill, Geography/Geospatial Data Science '26

A smiling man with a beard wearing a white shirt, exuding a friendly and approachable demeanor. — Dave Grubman, MPS-GIS '12
