The Institute includes some time in the classroom.
Participants may hear a lecture by a water resource expert, listen to a
panel discussion or participate in learning activities.
Discussions between class members
One of the requirements for the Institute is to complete an applied
project and prepare a presentation for a poster session. Here Maynard
Martin describes his project to fellow Institute class members Ron Calo
and Michael Gaden.
Individual/Group Projects
During one session of the Institute class members where able to
informally discuss water resource management with representatives from
nonprofit organizations involved in lake and stream management. Here
class member Jim Zavislak discusses the Izaak Walton League's wetland
program with the League's representative Bob Stegmien.
Practical experience in the field
The Institute includes time out in the stream and on
the lake, learning about aquatic ecology. Here Kristine Boley-Morse and
Ron Calo practice taking a plankton sample from Wintergreen Lake.
