Biography

My name is Scott Schroeder and I am a senior Environmental Studies major at CSB/SJU. I grew up in Richmond, Minnesota, a small town in Stearns County. I graduated from Rocori High School in Cold Spring, where I played football, basketball, and baseball.  I am currently a member of the SJU varsity baseball team, which had one of the best seasons in team history last year, winning the M.I.A.C. playoff tournament and traveling to Oregon to play in the NCAA Western Regional Tournament.  Additionally, I am the student supervisor at the SJU grounds crew and an avid intramural sports participant.

I really enjoy being outdoors, playing and watching sports, and spending time with friends, family, and my four year old white lab named Chloe.  She loves to go pheasant hunting (and she’s pretty good at it) so that is one of my favorite activities to do in the fall.  I am also a huge fan of live music.  This past summer, I saw Dierks Bentley, Randy Houser, and the LoCash Cowboys, as well as the Johnny Holm Band (twice! If you have never been to one of their concerts and you get a chance to, do it! They put on a great show!)  I am looking forward to this semester and I am especially excited for the Johnnie football season to start!

I think that Environmental Ethics will be an interesting course and I am excited for our class.  I hope that I can use what I learn in Environmental Ethics in the future.  I am interested in natural resource conservation, clean energy technologies, and sustainable agriculture and would love to continue on in one of these fields after graduation.
