Creek Connections

We added a flowmeter to the list of scientific equipment we have for regional students to use to study their local waterways! Big thanks to Western Pennsylvania Conservancy for their watershed grants program with funding from BHE GT&S. bit.ly/3B7gi2L

What an ACTIVE way to get students excited to learn about watershed issues and get involved in their local community! Way to go @Firstwavesorg ! youtu.be/IN-SuZtfw2U

Dedicated to providing accessible, equitable education for the next generation, Will Tolliver Jr. '14 says Allegheny College and its environmental education program, @CreekConnection, taught him how to become a leader. bit.ly/3MViA7W

Collecting aquatic macroinvertebrates ahead of this afternoon's storms for a program later today. What are you finding in your creek?

Creek Connections May Newsletter is here! Read about our busy spring season. Thanks for a great year! mailchi.mp/c131f0ef5b59/c…

What a great promising project from a student at the International Science and Engineering Fair!

@gracmalley_12 He is always with you. You are doing amazing work!

I’m loving my time here at #JASM22 but it’s bittersweet. The reality hit me that my undergraduate mentor, Scott Wissinger, isn’t here to witness all of this. I hope he’s proud of me

Senior Creeker Robin was honored by the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Mentoring Program, Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Center today for her year of teaching Watershed. Congratulations Robin!

@oldenfish @BenthosNews @emilyataylor21 @ProcrustesCaps Love this!!

Megan's work is also featured on our virtual student research symposium website. Check it out!

Our staff gathered on the beautiful @alleghenycol campus yesterday to celebrate another watershed year and our graduating seniors - Robin and Madi. We are sporting our shirts from Evolution Printing Systems designed by our seniors. Thanks for a great year!

We have wrapped up the active part of our 2022 virtual student research symposium, but the site will remain up as a resource for educators to use with their students. One fantastic project is a film, Women in Streams, by our senior Creeker, Madison Sherman sites.google.com/.../college...…

Today through May 2, any observations you make on iNaturalist count in the City Nature Challenge competition (as long as the ID is verified). So get out there and make observations! Around where you live, a park, anywhere. citynaturechallenge.org

@KeithPiccard @creekkedz @KalaMahen Submit your design for consideration 🤓 I think next year's is already set

@creekkedz @KalaMahen @CreekConnection I’m still pushing to get the scud on a @CreekConnection shirt design one of these years 😉

New @CreekConnection catchphrase? @creekkedz??

We are so excited by the support we received during #GatorGiveDay Today we launch our 2022 Virtual Student Research Symposium at sites.google.com/allegheny.edu/… Please share so more educators can use this fantastic resource with their classes. Thank you!

Plenty of time left, but don't let #GatorGiveDay slip away without a donation to Creek Connections under Experiential Learning at givecampus.com/kgr2tp We are well over halfway to our goal of 50 donations. Size does NOT matter! #GatorFlashBack

How'd we do? Did we bring the energy to the #GatorGiveDay live feed? There's still time to give today. We are halfway to our goal of 50 donors. We know we can get there!
