He became passionate about the environment and sustainable development while studying at the Cape Eleuthera Island School in 2004. This experience led him to pursue a major in environmental studies and government at Dartmouth. In the fall term of his junior year, Lowe attended the Environmental Studies foreign study program in southern Africa. The following spring, he was able to expand on his experience in Africa with an internship at the Bureau of African Affairs in the U.S. Department of State.
