RACC Undergraduate Interns Host First Generation College Students

College for Every Student visits RACC Interns at Saint Michael’s College

On July 30, 2015, the EPSCoR Macroinvertebrate and Water Quality Laboratories at Saint Michael's College hosted several high school students from New York and Kentucky. During their visit, these future first generation college students learned about what it means to do summer research at the undergraduate level. EPSCoR interns touched on highlights of their summers, answered general questions about college life, and talked about their day-to-day activities and responsibilities as undergraduate researchers. Some College for Every Student participants even got to run Total Suspended Solid (TSS) samples in the Water Quality Lab and help to identify an insect in the Macroinvertebrate Lab!
