She's a 10 but always threatening to destroy everything I've ever loved

The final countdown....#NationalParkWeek kicks off Saturday with a fee-free day to all national parks! With over 400 parks, your nearest national park may be closer to home than you think! Do you have plans to visit a park? More: nps.gov/subjects/npsce… 📸@grandtetonps

@MaddyWeise Couldn’t agree more! Congrats to everyone in #ENVIR492 !! We made it! 🥳🥂🎉

Looking back on the entire #POEcap experience I feel that I have grown immensely throughout this process. I am so thankful for all the friends I have made along the way (shoutout #ENVIR492 cohort) and the academic and professional growth I have experienced!

I still have two quarters to go before I graduate! I've completed my major requirements for Envir Studies and Poli Sci. 🥳 Next, I am wrapping up my ESRM minor and taking some classes for fun. After graduation, I hope to serve with AmeriCorps. (2/2) #ENVIR492

In the final stretch of wrapping up my capstone! Looking back I am so grateful for the opportunity to gain experience, learn new skills, and network with environmental professionals. My advice to #ENVIR490 students is to befriend the people that you meet and ask questions! (1/2)

@QHabedank The pandemic has made me realize how much of a treat it is to do fieldwork. I'm so glad you got that opportunity this summer, and in something that you're passionate about. Congratulations on finishing your capstone (aside from the synthesis)! 🥳 #ENVIR492

@rachelneroutsos Here’s a thread about my takeaways! 🐟 ⬇️⬇️

The first room I went to was @DivinityDodge who interned at NOAA. A question I have for Divinity is: what is your biggest takeaway from interning at NOAA? #POEcap #ENVIR490

@ElizabethZajacz I did a lot of readings on established mediums, media preferences, and cross compared that with my interview responses to see what people preferred and found my useful! I also researched exciting new mediums that could be used for environmental outreach in the future! #ENVIR492

Hey @DivinityDodge! how did you determine what forms of #environmentalcomm were more successful than others? #POEcap

@vanessastokel I think that there are a lot of new mediums emerging like video games and SMS messaging that can be integrated into aquatic communications! And I do think that my findings, and deliverables I didn’t discuss in my presentation, will be used to inform future outreach for the WRB!

@DivinityDodge how do you think the future of environmental communication, specifically around aquatic ecosystems, will change in the future? Do you think your discovered communication knowledge practices will be put to use? #POEcap #envir490

@samoreno8 @GraceZamzow @AnnabelleAcos16 Thank you for coming to my presentation!! #MistersForever

@ZoeLew10 Beautiful poster @BellaK211 !! 💚🎉

If you can't make the capstone symposium tonight, make sure to follow the hashtag #POEcap for live updates from 4:30-7:30PM tonight! Tweet out your questions for presenters, and check out the video presentations later this week here: tinyurl.com/CapstoneSympos…

@the_zinker3 One key finding is that communication should utilize solution-oriented messaging to empower audiences. However, strategies for effective outreach are not static. They require continued research and revision! Stop by breakout room #2 (Session A) to hear more! (2/2) #POECap

@the_zinker3 I identified generalized best practices in my research that can be applied broadly. These practices can be implemented into media choice and messaging strategies. They can be tailored to different environmental projects, issues, and goals. (1/2)

@DivinityDodge in what ways did you find we can improve environmental communication? Can it be applied broadly as well? #ENVIR490 #PoEcap

@wyboian An array of mediums should be used in environmental outreach. One example is social media! Posts are accessible, sharable, permit public comments, and are typically concise. You can also look at post analytics to see who your post is reaching and content interactions. #ENVIR492

@GraceZamzow Yes! Im so excited to showcase my work and wrap up everything I’ve done these past two quarters… but nervous to present it.

Excited to see what everyone’s final posters look like after we’re done this week! I’m excited for the symposium but also a little nervous, anyone feel the same way? #ENVIR492

@LilyAstone Spending time outside! It’s reminds me what I’m working toward, why I picked my major and the career I want after graduation. I just try to stay connected to/involved in the things I’m passionate about 💚💚

If so, what are things in your life that keep you motivated?

Anyone else experiencing senioritis yet?

@HannahChristof3 Research the organization before you conduct the interviews if it’s with professionals so you have a sense of the background/perspective your interviewees have! Also schedule interviews as far in advance as you can so you can get more participants/have a flexible schedule.

Calling all #ENVIR492 students! If you used interviews as a method for your research, what are your best tips for a successful interview? #ENVIR490
