Carly Goldberg
Hi everyone! My name is Carly Goldberg, and I’m a sophomore from Northville, MI. I am currently involved in LSA SG, PSIP, and the Michigan Research Community (a residential UROP program)! One of my passions is the environment, so this year I will focus on switching to more “Green” Cleaning products in the dorms and classrooms! While the University is starting to make the switch to greener products, I believe that a push from the students will help speed up the transition. Did you know that indoor air is 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air!? Who would have known!? Please let me know if you are interested in helping with this project. In addition, I am the Appointments Commitee Chair, so if you want to join Student Government (which I hope you do!), I’ll be able to interview you and help you find the perfect committee to join! Please contact me at ccgold@umich.edu with any ideas, concerns, questions, or just to talk!
