Hampton University | 2026-2027 National Park Trust College Ambassador

My name is Nyla Thompson, and I am a fourth-year Marine and Environmental Science major at Hampton University and the 2026-2027 president of Brownies Outdoors. I am passionate about science and serving my community. I believe HBCU students should have greater access to the outdoors. In my final year, I’m excited to explore Virginia’s natural spaces while building community with fellow club members.
