Lakes 101: A Keynote Speech by Dr. Samuel Drerup
On the last weekend of April, we as an organization hosted an event on campus entitled Earth Fest. The purpose of this event was not only to increase community awareness of SPEAK’s projects, but also to promote environmental education, sustainability, and ethical consumerism. At this festival, which hosted a local vendor fair, food trucks, and a karaoke station, Dr. Samuel Drerup from Trine University acted as one of two of our keynote speakers. Dr. Drerup is an ecologist who specializes in biogeochemical cycling in aquatic systems and his speech detailed how important bodies of water are to the economy of Steuben County, as well as how individual human action can influence this monumental resource.
