Princeton Environmental Institute highlights senior thesis by Peter Schmidt ’20
Thursday, Jul 9, 2020
For his senior thesis, Peter Schmidt ’20 wrote a novel titled A Mountain There which gives a voice to Bolivia’s Cerro Rico or “rich mountain” known for being the largest silver mine and its nearly 500 years of violent history. Schmidt spent a year in Bolivia through Princeton’s Novogratz Bridge Year Program where he first witnessed the mining of Cerro Rico and years later, it became his inspiration for his senior thesis.
