MU senior Jessica Philbrick posed for a portrait Thursday outside Memorial Student Union. Although Philbrick changed her major multiple times before even starting college, she knew she wanted to do something conservation oriented. Now, Philbrick graduates with a degree in biological science and will go on to work at the San Diego Zoo. | Sam Gause
