Daniel McGarvey, Ph.D, associate professor in the Center for Environmental Studies, is the co-lead in the presentation, “Emerge: Broadening Participation and Leadership in Freshwater Science.” The presentation looks at developing sustained peer-peer and peer-mentor relationships to help recruit and retain underrepresented minority individuals as they pursue careers in the freshwater sciences. McGarvey worked with colleagues from the University of Georgia, UC Berkeley, and Georgia Southern University Foundation.
