Klancey ’16
Allegheny’s Environmental Science & Sustainability experience not only gave me the tools to get into a meaningful career, but also impacted how I see and interact with the world around me. I now do things like grow some of my own food, plant native species in my yard, and am scheming how to get rid of my grass lawn in favor of something more beneficial to the ecosystem of my area.
In the past two years, I’ve managed over $151 million dollars across nearly 40 wastewater infrastructure projects providing both upgrades to and new service of wastewater treatment to the citizens of West Virginia. This work has helped bring environmental justice to some of the country’s most impoverished areas, including a brand new facility in the Coalwood area of McDowell County, WV.
Klancey studied environmental science and economics at Allegheny College.
