Meet Dr. Candace Kairies-Beatty, a professor in the <\/span>Geoscience Department<\/span><\/a> at Winona State University.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Kairies-Beatty was selected for a prestigious fellowship, giving her the opportunity to <\/span>work on an environmental justice policy through the Biden-Harris Administration. <\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Kairies-Beatty joined WSU back in 2007 initially thinking it would be a short stay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But she was so impressed by all of Winona\u2019s natural resources and the Geoscience degree program that she has been teaching at WSU ever since.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During her senior year as an undergraduate, she discovered her passion for geoscience when she took a geology class.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Geology immediately \u201cclicked\u201d for her and just made sense, making her realize that she wanted to be a geologist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Kairies-Beatty enjoys that geology intersects with many other areas of science. <\/span><\/p>\n

In her role, she needs to know not only geology, but also chemistry and biology. She likes that she has the ability to meet and work with all sorts of people from different scientific fields.<\/span><\/p>\n
