The VT EPSCoR Center for Workforce Development and Diversity (CWDD) held a Macroinvertebrate Identification Workshop for 12 middle and high school teachers on Thursday, July 16 from 10:00am to 2:00pm at Saint Michael’s College. The workshop was designed to assist teachers in the identification of macroinvertebrates with help from Dr. Declan McCabe (Professor of Biology at Saint Michael’s College).

On July 16th, the Center for Workforce Development and Diversity (CWDD) hosted a Data Presenting Seminar (and dinner!) on the Saint Michael's College campus. Professor Declan McCabe gave the undergraduate interns information on the different types of presentations that occur during our symposium in the Spring, and how to access resources to design a research poster. We are excited to see our interns' talks and posters!

Tables turned on Saint Michael’s College faculty mentors for the third and final summer research lunch in Dion Family Student Center on Tuesday, July 14, as their student understudies had a chance to question professors about how the projects they’ve been collaborating on for many weeks might bear on the younger scholars’ futures.
