“I chose to study environmental science & sustainability at Nazareth because of the state-of-the-art facilities combined with knowledgeable faculty, available research opportunities, and the flexibility in classes that has allowed me to pursue a secondary major in legal studies,” said Daryn, research poster winner at Nazareth’s annual Creative Activity and Research Showcase (CARS). "Our CARS project research was part of our Ecology Laboratory class and evaluated water quality in various surface water/wetlands in Mendon Ponds Park. We found that water quality varied significantly among the tested areas due to unique geographic features.”
