Lisa Neville - Brock University - Both Sides of the Brain

M.Sc. Candidate Earth Sciences
Former Graduate Students' Association President

Lisa Neville is as comfortable soaring in the sky as she is researching the Alberta oilsands.

Lisa began her graduate work on Great Lakes water levels, but has added research o...n the Alberta oilsands. She studies environmental methods that are best at remediating the shattered ecosystem, which includes habitats for animals like the peregrine falcon.

Lisas presented research papers at international conferences and will publish in journals later this year. At age 23, the self-described workaholic also finds time to be the youngest-ever president of Brocks Graduate Students Association.

Lisa chose to attend Brock because it is the only university where she could combine majors of Earth Sciences and Biology, and shes now completing her masters degree.

I love Brock, she says. It really allowed me to do things I would never have had the opportunity to do.

While half of Lisas brain is engaged by her academic pursuits, the other half is engaged by her love of flying. She is a licensed instructor and spends weekends teaching local cadets.

Even though she's probably reading from a script, what she says is true. Brock offers a ton of great things. You can't just go to class. You have to get out and experience as much as you can while the opportunities are there.
