SENIOR MANAGING BOARD

Bonnie Cantwell ('19) | Editor-in-Chief
Bonnie grew up in Houston, Texas, where the outdoors is easily defined as “anywhere without air conditioning.” As an undergraduate at Baylor University, Bonnie travelled extensively in Latin America and developed an interest in old buildings, tall mountains, and limitless horizons. These experiences of exploration inspired an interest in environmental law, particularly land use and historic preservation. The land holds the stories of generations gone by and the opportunities of those yet to come. For this reason, Bonnie is committed to facilitating an academic and personal consideration of environmental issues in our law school community. (bec4pe@virginia.edu)
