Frances Slater

Frances Slater is a senior majoring in Business Economics and minoring in Computer Science. She grew up skiing, mountain biking, and running in Northern Minnesota, as well as experiencing the increasingly extreme winters which quickly led her to develop a passion for protecting the environment. After hearing about many college campuses arguing for divestment, she found her first major intersection between climate justice and economics where she could play a part. Since, she has helped grow the grassroots organization UAZDivest. Additionally, she works as a communications student worker for the Arizona Institutes for Resilience (AIR) and informs students of the environmental opportunities offered at UArizona, in Tucson, and beyond. She is excited to be a preceptor for the Liverman Scholars program to further enhance her environmental communication skills and find more ways to connect economics to climate justice and environmental communication.
