The School of Earth and Sustainability has partnered with the College of Natural Sciences Career Office to host its first Earth and Sustainability Career Fair on Monday, March 9, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., in Old Chapel.

Two students, juniors Meg Davis and Rhada Dave, have developed a device to measure water usage in dorm showers. They used an $1,800 grant from the Sustainability, Innovation and Engagement Fund (SIEF) to create a prototype for their project.

Rachel Walker, assistant professor of nursing and director of the nursing Ph.D. program, is featured in a podcast series, Nurses for Healthy Environments. In the 50-minute episode, “Changing the World with Rachel Walker,” host Elizabeth Schenk, a nurse scientist dedicated to sustainability, calls Walker a “visionary leader.” 

Christine Hatch, extension associate professor of geosciences, recently received a grant from Sustainability, Innovation and Engagement Fund for the Rain Garden 52 project – the creation of a green infrastructure system, researched and designed by students, that will capture and filter stormwater while enhancing campus aesthetics by harnessing the beauty of a natural wetland.
