Hi human rights pals!

My name is Emily Green and I am in my second year here at STU, planning on majoring in Human Rights and Environment and Society. I am originally from Riverview but my family now lives in Halifax.

I like to hike, spend time with friends and family, and I am learning how to surf. (Feel free to send trail recommendations in the greater Fredericton area my way!)

I enrolled in this course because I want to broaden my perspective on human rights issues by reading and talking about books.

Stay safe everyone, and happy first day of classes!

Hey Emily! I think it is awesome you are learning how to surf, I have some cousins who surf and wish they would teach me! I recommend Dunbar Falls (its a small walk rather than a hike to a beautiful waterfall), or Mt. Carleton in NB (not in Fredericton, but worth the 3hr drive if you have the means to get there).

Hey Anna! Definitely lots of cuts and bruises from the ocean so far -- but I'm learning.

Thanks for the recommendations!

Hi Emily,

Welcome to the course. Your two majors go together very nicely. Keep an eye out for a new course entitled Human Rights and the Environment(!). It won't be offered likely until 2022-23 when you are in your fourth year. Where in the heavens are you learning to surf? Very cool.

Hi Dr. DiPaolo,

That sounds like an interesting course -- can't wait to see it offered at STU in the future.

Lawerencetown & Rainbow Haven in Nova Scotia are my two favourite spots so far!

So good to see a familiar name! If you ever need someone to hike with, let me know! I also love that you are learning to surf, that sounds like so much fun.

Hey Mal,

Excited to take this course with you! We'll have to make plans to go for a hike and talk about HR books sometime soon.

Hi Emily!
I've been getting into hiking and have been exploring waterfalls all summer, a short trail to a really nice area is Split Rock Falls about 20 minutes away but if you're ever looking for a day trip away from Fredericton I love the trails through Fundy!
