Bio

Noa Rudisch '27 is from Atlanta, GA, and grew up exploring the outdoors with her parents and grandfather. Her time spent in nature sparked her passion for environmental activism and conservation, leading her to become deeply involved in environmental initiatives on campus. Noa serves on the board of Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL), is a member of the Student Sustainability Council, and holds the position of undersecretary of sustainability programming for Student Assembly. She also shares her love for the outdoors by leading the Bike Alliance and serving as a trip leader for the Tribe Adventure Program (TAP).

Through her studies in Integrative Conservation and Biology, Noa is learning to connect biological principles with the socio-cultural forces that influence biodiversity. She is passionate about partnering with communities to implement and research effective conservation practices and is excited to work in Montana to identify priority areas for prairie ecosystem restoration.

Noa hopes to pursue a career that bridges the gap between science and the humanities, focusing on integrating conservation planning with community engagement.
