The Superfund’s RETCC and CEC hosted an on campus mini-retreat to re/connect, review the Center’s goals and structure, and engage our trainees and community partners with community-based work strategies and information.
Our community partners Emily Sutton (Haw River Assembly), Wayne Rider (Sustainable Sandhills), and Kemp Burdette (Cape Fear River Watch), participated as part of a panel of judges for trainee 3 Minute Thesis (3MT) presentations.
Trainees Matt Farrell (Project 3), Macon Carroll (Project 2), Nnamdi Osakwe (alum of DMAC), Nate Wiecha (Project 1), Zarin Tasnim (Project 4), and Sarangi Joseph (Project 4) gave 3MT presentations on their work during the event. Awards were given out to Macon Carroll, Sarangi Joseph, and Zarin Tasnim.
At the conclusion of the retreat, a tour of an environmental engineering lab was given.
