Mikhail Mikhaylov

“It has been far too long since activism toward renewable energy has been engaged on a university level. Every day I see how much pollution or unhealthy methods of energy generation is being utilized on my lovely campus. I believe change needs to be made; UF and other Florida universities need to find better and safer energy alternatives. This commitment is extremely important to me as I set a life goal for myself to improve the condition of every place I visit. UF and Florida are only one step for me to reach said life goal.”
