(Neosho, MO) – Crowder College students, Jarron Hembree and Ivy Patrick, successfully presented their research at the world’s largest Earth and space science conference called the American Geophysical Union (AGU), competing alongside more than 25,000 participants from over 100 countries.
This was a significant achievement for Crowder College. Alongside Dr. Bridget Kenlee, and a year and a half of research, both students presented with exceptional professionalism and confidence:
- Jarron Hembree: “Community Perceptions and Water Quality Risks from Biosolids in Southwest Missouri”
- Ivy Patrick: “Investigating Mining Impacts on Groundwater and Soil in Missouri’s Ozarks”
Both students competed for AGU’s prestigious Outstanding Student Presentation Award and represented our college admirably on an international stage, gaining invaluable experience that will serve them throughout their careers.
About Crowder College:
Crowder College was established in April 1963, as the voters of Newton and McDonald counties passed the issue to create a community college (formerly junior college) on the land formerly known as Camp Crowder. Today, the college provides services to a nine-county service region in southwest Missouri with locations in Neosho, Cassville, Joplin, McDonald County, Nevada, and Webb City. The student population exists from within the four-state region, and around the globe. With over 80 degree and program options, the college is a great place to train for a career or transfer to a university.
