Attention Students
For those who submitted a platform or poster presentation, you have the opportunity to receive an NGWREF Robert Farvolden Student Award, made possible by a grant from S.S. Papadopulos & Associates Inc. Awards will be made to undergraduate and/or graduate students based on judged platform or poster presentations given at the NGWA Ground Water Summit. Up to four $750 awards will be presented based on quality of presentation, content, and demonstrated insight on a topic or issue. These awards will be distributed after the conclusion of the conference.
For those students who were unable to submit an abstract, you can still benefit by attending the NGWA Ground Water Summit where you will have the chance to learn from industry leaders and network with hundreds already at work in the groundwater field.
