Bonnie Lord ‘26 combined passion with purpose. 🎨 🌱
An environmental science major with minors in geographic information systems (GIS) and mathematics, she spent her senior year at Albion conducting oral history research on the Kalamazoo River and in the Albion community—exploring the intricate relationship between nature and humanity through creative expression. Her maximalist creation, “River Stories: The Kalamazoo River in Watercolor,” weaves together personal narratives, environmental science, and a deep love for the place that inspired her.
At Albion, Bonnie found the resources, the mentorship, and the connections to turn her curiosity into impact. That’s the power of our community—when you have access to tools, guidance, and people who believe in you, you can create meaning. 💛
