Creek Connections

Creek Connections is an effective partnership between Allegheny College and regional K-12 schools to turn their local waterways into outdoor laboratories.

We added a flowmeter to the list of scientific equipment we have for regional students to use to study their local waterways! Big thanks to Western Pennsylvania Conservancy for their watershed grants program with funding from BHE GT&S. https://t.co/dnfXo4QINs

What an ACTIVE way to get students excited to learn about watershed issues and get involved in their local community! Way to go @Firstwavesorg ! https://t.co/lO5bohli79

We have wrapped up the active part of our 2022 virtual student research symposium, but the site will remain up as a resource for educators to use with their students. One fantastic project is a film, Women in Streams, by our senior Creeker, Madison Sherman

Plenty of time left, but don't let #GatorGiveDay slip away without a donation to Creek Connections under Experiential Learning at https://t.co/8LPCQ4I1mo We are well over halfway to our goal of 50 donations. Size does NOT matter! #GatorFlashBack

[Creek Connections @CreekConnection]

How'd we do? Did we bring the energy to the #GatorGiveDay live feed? There's still time to give today. We are halfway to our goal of 50 donors. We know we can get there!
