Undergraduate Student Showcase
The Water Resources Program employed six Rutgers University students to assist in water quality sampling, benthic sampling, flow monitoring, site investigations, stream visual assessments, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) analysis during the summer of 2007.
While working on real world water resources projects this summer under the guidance of the Water Resources Program staff, the students had the opportunity to learn many skills that may give them a head-start in their careers. The skills gained can also be applied throughout the remainder of their academic careers. Two students were even featured on a local cable channel while collecting surface water samples from the Tenakill and Musquapsink Brooks!
On behalf of the RCE Water Resources Program, we would like to thank Brian Kelly, from the Environmental Sciences graduate program, and Jillian Thompson, Robert Flaherty, Benjamin Pearson, Daryl Strom, and Colin Warnick, from the Bioresource Engineering undergraduate program, for their hard work. All of our students were immensely helpful, and we look forward to continuing to provide University students with relevant real world experience.
Chris Thiel, from the Bioresource Engineering undergraduate program, and Christine Lynn, from the Environmental Sciences graduate program, have recently joined the Water Resources Program for the Fall of 2007. Welcome, Chris and Christine!
