By: Dr. Angela Allen
On March 19th, students from the Environmental Resources Water Assessment Training Program (ERWATP) presented at the 2025 Water Resources Research Institute (WRRI) Conference held at the McKimmon Center. The conference brings together a wide range of sectors and disciplines involved in water resources across North Carolina.
Seven students participated in the presentation:
- Dominic Zecca (ETM)
- Samantha Lewis (ETM)
- Ashlyn Wray (ES/ETM)
- Allison Avalos (ETM)
- Lauren Conway (ETM)
- Jack Wagner (ETM)
- Jessie Schroder (ES)
- Morgan Starnes (ETM)
- Sydney Pollock (ETM)
- Elizabeth Adams (BAE)
The ERWATP is a unique program that helps undergraduate students develop valuable research skills while actively participating in environmental research. Several of these students will present their findings in April at two prestigious national conferences: the Emerging Research National Conference in Georgia and the National Conference of Undergraduate Research in Pennsylvania.
Additionally, the team is set to engage with the community by sharing their findings through scheduled meetings with Partners for Environmental Justice (PEJ) and at the Science Seminar on Raleigh Stormwater.
The ERWATP is led by Angela Allen, with collaborations from various programs across campus. Caroline Zuber, an Environmental Sciences alum, also presented at the WRRI Conference as a PhD student at Duke University!
