Even though I’m not graduating until next year, I’m so happy to see everyone finishing off their college experience with such a great accomplishment under their belt! Although it’s sad to see everyone go, I know for a fact you all are moving on to even greater things #envir492

@LilyAstone Yes I totally agree! And the huge feeling of accomplishment makes it all worth it in the end. #envir492

Hey #ENVIR490 students, as I reflect on my capstone experience I just wanted to say try to enjoy this opportunity as much as possible. There might be moments where you're overwhelmed and think you can't do it, but believe me when I say you can! #ENVIR492 #Reflection

If you haven’t seen my poster yet, check out my work on experiential learning in conservatories and how it is such an important resource for science education! I personally loved to see all my work come together and was quite happy with the results #PoEcap #ENVIR492

I loved seeing everyone’s great work at the symposium. It was clear how much work was put into getting us to this point. Congratulations ya’ll! #ENVIR492 #PoEcap

@LucyZhu22 I feel that, I’ve been sick for a week now and after the third run-through, my voice was almost gone but we made it! Everyone did so good!

Just had a coughing fit and missed out on idk how long of presentations💀 just glad it didn't happen when I was presenting lmaoo

Looking forward to chilling and listening to session B of #POEcap! Thank you everyone who came to listen to me in session A

The Capstone Symposium is starting soon! Hope you all are as excited as I am. Come see me in session B, breakout room 14 to learn more about science education and experiential learning! 😁 #envir492 #PoEcap

I wanted to shout out @jen_keesmaat who is one of my professional role models as an Urban Planner and more. She has built an influential platform advocating for sustainable and smart planning strategies and made a huge impact as a Chief Planner in Toronto, Canada #envir492

If you haven’t already, swing by my host organization the @vpconservatory and check out some of their unique plant species! I hope to see the work that was done in 491 come together for field trips to start happening:)

Hi @DirFisherTVDSB! My project has been about teaching kids about science topics in a plant conservatory. What factors have you noticed that impacts elementary school students engagement with STEM topics? #envir492

@itsonalease It is a great idea to have an interview transcript so you can look back at it later on. #envir492

Hey #ENVIR490, #ENVIR492, and #uwpoe! Does anyone have any advice regarding conducting #interviews for their capstone #research?

I found this new source that looks at effective field-trip planning frameworks in outdoor settings which emphasizes the importance of preparation in the classroom beforehand. I actually recreated a useful figure from this source as well. #envir492 tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…

With this draft and feedback from my 1-1 with Sean and my faculty advisor, I’m finding the most important thing for me is structuring it to make it feel like a narrative of my research as you read. So many moving parts! #envir492

@LeanderVandefen I get that, I always want to perfect it on the first try

@GaitherMabel It’s going just alright, luckily I have a meeting with my faculty advisor tomorrow so I can share my outline with her and make some adjustments if needed before submitting tomorrow night. #envir492

Hey folks in #ENVIR492, how are things going with your synthesis outline so far? Or, how was your meeting with your faculty advisor?

@itspedro3695 @envir492 Hi Pedro! I was lucky enough to to get one of my top 3 choices and I really enjoyed it! To be honest though I probably would have been happy with any of them they all sounded great #POEcap #envir492

Finally got my internship applications all turned in! @envir492 students, how lucky were you to land your first picks??#envir490 #POEcap

@SchaulRyland It might sound basic but look on google for basic interview tips. It helps a lot! And also be prepared to answer questions using the STAR method. It’s a great strategy to give the best answer you can. #POEcap #envir492

Hey #ENVIR492 students, how did you prepare for interviews? What are some tips? #ENVIR490

@hannah_whobrey A good thing to always think about is to make your resume visually appealing and not overwhelming at first glance. Other than that, the other replies are also very helpful resume tips. Best of luck!

@CamilleAndrew_ Hi Camille! If you’re thinking about what questions to ask, I made sure to research the organizations that I was interested in so I would be able to ask questions that can’t be answered from the information you receive beforehand. It helps them notice you’re invested. #envir492

Hey #ENVIR492 #POEcap what did you think was the most helpful question you asked during the meet & greet/do you wish you would’ve asked anything specifically? #ENVIR490

@lyndslovesearth I was a bit nervous at first but once I was actually speaking, it wasn’t nerve racking at all. You got this!

Presented at CAPCON this week and really enjoyed talking to the students who attended. They asked such good questions! It’s fun being able to share all the hard work that was done to get to this point 😄 #envir492
