š A poem for new grads from your legendary friend Champ:
Youāve finally done it ā cue the confetti!
Youāve got your diploma and cap at the ready
Youāre off to the races, the worldās at your feet
Youāve got places to go and new friends to meet
So climb all the mountains, swim lakes oh-so-blue
Explore the whole world ā itās waiting for you!
But wherever life takes you, wherever you go
No matter how far away you may roam
Youāll have a home here in the Green Mountain State
And a mythical friend waving āhiā from the Lake
So in all lifeās adventures, the old and the new,
Remember that Champy believes in you š¦š

Last week, ECHOās E-Team interns joined the UVM Watershed Alliance for a trip aboard the R/V Marcelle Melosira to learn about threats to Lake Champlain and how researchers study water quality in the Lake.
On their trip, E-Teamers got hands-on experience measuring water transparency and using the vesselās onboard microscopes to search for plankton in water samples. Before heading back to shore, Captain Taylor Resnick and Research Vessel Specialist Eddy Duva joined the team to talk about their careers and paths to working on a research vessel.
Thank you to Watershed Alliance educators Sabrina, Carlos, Evan, Hallie, and Molly, Captain Taylor Resnick, Research Vessel Specialist Eddy Duva, and the whole @rvmarcellemelosira team for an incredible trip!
