Nadia Harvieux (she/her) joined Finger Lakes Institute (FLI) in 2013 and manages environmental and watershed-focused education programs for a wide range of diverse audiences. As a passionate advocate for place-based experiential learning, Nadia designs and leads innovative programs to engage students and adults in participatory community science addressing local environmental issues. FLI’s K-12 programs include the Finger Lakes Youth Climate Summit, Science on Seneca, the Finger Lakes Regional Stream Monitoring Network, supporting STEAM opportunities for Geneva’s Youth through Geneva 2030, and providing professional development for educators. In addition to her role at the FLI, Nadia supports students entering the teaching profession as an Adjunct Instructor in the Teacher Education Program at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. Focusing the FLI’s programs through the lens of climate action has been a key component of the FLI’s recent environmental education work. Nadia credits growing up on Canandaigua Lake for sparking her interest in stewardship, education, and protection of the Finger Lakes.
