John Penn Whitescarver Foundation Works with Dr. Benzing's Students to Deliver Storm Water Certification Virtually
Description
As a complement to learning about water quality monitoring and management at the watershed level, students of Dr. Tom Benzing, Ph.D., Professor, Integrated Science and Technology, in an environmental hydrology class completed additional training on the basics of stormwater pollution and regulation. Eight students earned a Certified Stormwater Student Certificate from the John Penn Whitescarver Foundation– a non-profit organization division of the National Stormwater Center. For the first time, the foundation delivered the training course online to fulfill this opportunity for our students despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
