Drawing Wildlife Art

Rising sophomore strives to defend environment through poetry and art

Geneva Boyer is a Renaissance woman.

As the rising sophomore mulls declaring a major in business, she spends much of her time drawing portraits and caricatures , dancing, acting and singing opera.

But it's the poetry Boyer writes and performs that has garnered the most attention lately, and has given her an audience with leaders from the National Wildlife Federation (NWF), former presidential candidate Al Gore, and activist actors like Robert Redford and Chevy Chase.

Her interest in the environment was piqued during the campaign for the 2000 presidential election when, as a Newton, Mass., fourth-grader, she supported Al Gore.

"After he ‘lost' I realized I was not done fighting," Boyer says. "Just because we had one loss, doesn't mean there wasn't still stuff to fight for."

The nine-year-old environmentalist started lugging around a copy of " 50 Simple Things Kids Can Do To Save the Earth ." In high school, she began working with the Newton Environmental Science Program and Green Decade, and penned a children's book, in verse, in which a young boy who wastes water and a group of fish who hold a convention in his living room realize they need to "stop messing up each other's homes."

Soon after arriving at Brandeis in the fall of 2010, Boyer joined Students for Environmental Action , working on sustainable landscaping, and in the spring, became the arts and materials chair for Students for a Just and Stable Future .

She used all her many creative tools in these endeavors, but realized she needed more. She tried to talk her way into Professor Maura Jane Farrelly 's already-full course: Advertising and the American Media. Farrelly told her to put her reasons in writing and Boyer wrote a long, persuasive letter.

"I told her I needed to use marketing to help with climate change," Boyer says, summing up her letter: "Basically, 'I need your class to save the world.'"

Typically, Farrelly says, she only relents and admits seniors into the capped course, assuming under-classmen have plenty of time to register for it later. "But Geneva persisted, as is her way."

"What she was looking for was an understanding of what public service advertising is," Farrelly says. "Her conviction is that the reason most people in this country do not care about environmental issues is that they just don't understand."

Boyer got her way, and says the class is the best she's taken at Brandeis to date. Farrelly was not disappointed with her decision either. She recalls a classroom discussion about marketing in public schools, in which a seven or eight students were unconcerned about the effects of companies advertising to cash-strapped school districts. Boyer was the only vocal student to express concern.
