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 can't believe #ENVIR492 is coming to an end! The #POEcap has been a long journey and I am sad to see it go! Most of all I am excited to see where everyone ends up after graduation!

@DivinityDodge Wow this is so cool! I will be curious to hear how your time with AmeriCorps will be!

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)

@JulieIra4 I totally agree Julie! I could never imagine myself finishing my capstone and now here I am! I can't believe it!

Congrats #ENVIR492 cohort! We survived the research symposium! I loved hearing about all of the awesome projects you all have been working on for so long!

@elliemac1ean I know! I can't believe we are so close to the end of the quarter!!

Now it’s time to write our synthesis papers 😳

What a great showing at the #POEcap symposium for Autumn 2021!! Congrats to my cohort! So proud of all of us for making it through!

I just finished the #POEcap research symposium and all I can say is WOW!! I am so impressed by my peers and I hope they feel so proud of all of their hard work!

I got to hear part of @AnnabelleAcos16's presentation at the #POEcap on wildfire defensible spaces! Such an interesting concept!! #ENVIR492

@the_zinker3 Yes! Unfortunately a lot of research is economically driven. Hopefully in the future we can move towards conservation for inherent and ecological value!

@MaddyWeise do you think if we increase the economic value we associate with fisheries that there would be faster action to saving endangered species? #PoEcap #ENVIR490

At the #POEcap @mattijs_holler advises that governments need to make sustainable construction technologies more attractive to businesses! #ENVIR492

I have never thought about #sustainableconstruction before! Thank you @mattijs_holler for exposing me to this idea! #POEcap #ENVIR492

There is only a few minutes left of the #POEcap symposium! There are so many projects and such little time!

@madeleineschro made another great comment about #gardens! Sometimes we think of them as being either productive or beautiful, but really both are achievable!! #POEcap #ENVIR492

At the #POEcap @madeleineschro highlights that different people connect to #nature in different ways. Such a though provoking statement! #ENVIR492

I love seeing the evolution of @madeleineschro's figures over the course of #ENVIR492. They turned out great!! #POEcap

@migoldman7's presentation is so important in the context of the pandemic. Unfortunately, #sustainability efforts have been put on hold during the pandemic #POEcap #ENVIR492

I am now on to @migoldman7's presentation at the #POEcap symposium! He interned with NALCO Water and it seems that his project will definitely inspire change there! #ENVIR492

@hannamlester advised that I look into newer technology to reduce my water consumption! This includes shower heads, faucets, and toilets. Thank you! #ENVIR492 #POEcap

@hannamlester is giving a great presentation at the #POEcap symposium about water conservation in Seattle! Here is a link to the water conservation program she worked with at Seattle Public Utilities! #ENVIR492 seattle.gov/utilities/prot…

@trishdeignan has such an interesting research question that is so relevant to university students! We can all do our part to push for sustainability both on campus and off! #POEcap #ENVIR492
