WORKING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
When Emmie Horadam ’14 was little, her parents would wake her up, along with her sister, and drive to watch the sunrise over the Everglades. The Florida native credits her parents for her interest in the environment and in politics. “My parents were dedicated to their careers in environmental education and environmental protection,” she recalled. Now Horadam is doing the same,
as she was sworn in as a special assistant to the Office of the Assistant Secretary, Policy Management and Budget at the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) in January. Horadam, who recently served as deputy organizing director for the North Carolina Democratic Party, will work to address the climate and nature crises in addition to advancing President Biden’s vision to build
a clean energy future that creates good-paying jobs. “I am honored, humbled and
grateful to be appointed in this historic administration and am so unbelievably excited for the work I’ll be doing,” she said. Horadam also credits her
professors for her success. “I can tell you with no hesitation that if I did not have the relationship that I had, and still have, with Dr. [Alexa] Royden, Dr. [Margaret] Commins and Dr. [Mark] Kelso, I would not be where I am today,” she explained. “Leaning on their experience, because they have tremendous expertise in their field, really helped me understand what I wanted to be doing, how I could do it and how I could get there. That was just so important to me.”
