 Libby Koolik: When not busy picking away at the oranges, this native Floridian is often found chilling in the Terrascope Room, having a cup of coffee in the Green Building, rocking out with her sorority sisters, or foaming at the mouth over a really cool environmental or course 12 issue. You’ll never find her in her room; for some reason Kristina’s always in there!
