Lucy Dabbs

Class Year '25

こんにちは！私はルーシーです。はじめまして。^_^

I’ve always wanted to travel. When I was 15 I joined an international program in China and gained perspectives that helped me become more open-minded. After attending UWC I realized I can learn about the world not only by flying in airplanes but through the people I meet. These experiences are borderless and boundless. 🌏💫

- Lucy, UWC ISAK’20 �

Getting here:

A UWC education, a very loooong gap year, and the realization that I didn’t want to work at a chocolate factory for the rest of my life.

Classes

Human Ecology

Physics & Math of Sustainable Energy

Performance and Ecology: What Can Theatre Do?

Animation I

Audio Production and Podcasting

4-D Studio

My approach to human ecology:

Environmental studies 🌱 + social science � + filmmaking 📷 = Human Ecology 🌏

Life on Mount Desert Island:

Endless! There is so much to explore. Especially when you bike, or use the school e-car. 😉

Passions & motivations:

The Butterfly Effect - the idea that any action, no matter how small, has the power to make a significant difference. 🦋

Adventures yet to come:

Reaching Flower Day 10,000 🌸

Best meal on campus:

Plantains!! 🍌

COA might be the right college for you if...

you want to learn, not be taught
