Achievement

Outreach activities are an important part of professional development in our IGERT program. These activities provide a service to community, and allow our students to hone their public communication and interdisciplinary teamwork skills. In the past year our students logged an additional 500+ student-hours of community service, and have approached 3,000 student-hours for our IGERT program. Examples include indoor air demonstrations and presentations at Explore UT, an annual public open house on the UT campus, local science fairs, service to weatherization-related organizations, and presentations at local schools (ranging from 1st grade to high school).
