Traveling to a new place is an exciting opportunity to learn and grow as a person. As scientists, working in the field and collaborating with others are key components to building skill sets and making new discoveries. At East Boston High School, we hope to give students the opportunity to explore the world and develop as scientific thinkers.

The Winooski Conservation District, along with students at Colchester High School, will be designing ways to filter stormwater runoff from the high school parking lot before it flows into Malletts Bay.

In 2015, twenty-two new Fellows joined the Switzer Fellowship Network of over 570 Fellows located across the country and around the world. Read about them and their work below. To find information on Fellowship alumni, please go to the Find an Expert section of our website where you can search by name, region, and area of expertise.

The CWDD welcomed 19 high school student/teacher teams to the Saint Michael's College campus for a week of research education, stream sampling, and career exploration. Teams traveled from Puerto Rico, Delaware, Boston and from all around the state of Vermont. Students learned about the EPSCoR program, received hands-on experience with RACC faculty, and took a trip on UVM's research vessel, the Melosira.

They will spend the next year working on RACC research which will culminate in their presenting their individual projects at the Vermont EPSCoR Student Research Symposium next spring!
