Extension Environmental Mentorship Yields Life Changing Results

Author: DJ Scully

Planning Unit: Campbell County CES

Major Program: Water and Soil Quality and Conservation

Plan of Work: Environmental Management - Environmental Awareness, Education, and Action

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

I received a thank you letter from a recent Highlands High School (Fort Thomas, KY) graduate. I had the opportunity to mentor her by providing her with opportunities to improve the environment through volunteer cleanup events that I organize. She chose an Advanced Placement (AP) Research project on what motivates students to protect the environment and volunteer, in which I assisted her with the survey design and data analysis. 

"DJ Scully,

Thank you for everything that you have helped me with over the past few years!  I have enjoyed volunteering at the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event and the Ohio River Sweep.  I have learned a lot about the environment, and I have cherished the experiences.  I am also grateful for your assistance answering my questions for my AP Research project.  Thank you for writing me a letter of recommendation as well. I am excited to be attending the United States Coast Guard Academy in the fall.  Your mentorship has inspired me, and I will be majoring in Marine and Environmental Sciences.

Sincerely,

Sarah Pearson – July 2020"
