Meet The Students: Patrick Mitsdarfer




Hey guys!

My name is Patrick Mitsdarfer. I am a senior, majoring in Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences with a concentration on wildlife conservation. I grew up on a grain farm in central Illinois and still help out my dad during the planting and harvest seasons. Hunting and fishing for game species has always been a part of my life, and I grew up respecting nature and appreciating conservation. Now, I am excited to visit Puerto Rico and experience the people, the culture, and the environment and wildlife that it has to offer. This will be my first visit to a tropical island and I can't wait to take it all in.
