Noelia Baez leads a session about macroinvertebrates in Puerto Rico

The CWDD welcomed 16 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, Massachusetts, and all around the state of Vermont. Students learned about the EPSCoR program, received hands-on experience with BREE faculty, and were able to participate in a number of Vermont-based activities.

They will spend the next year working on BREE research which will culminate with the presentation of their individual projects at the Vermont EPSCoR Student Research Symposium next spring!
