She and her classmates restored wetlands to mitigate agricultural runoff and took water samples to evaluate potential contamination. Because of her involvement in this course, she was able to present her findings at the American Water Resources Association conference in Wisconsin Dells. This was a great place for networking and seeing different pathways of where her geoscience degree could take her. She learned a lot of valuable skills from both the CBL class and the conference, like applying classroom knowledge to the field, public speaking, and simplifying complicated ideas. Angie had a great community-based learning experience, and CBL classes are a wonderful way to make an impact on the community while earning course credit!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Written by Hannah Carpenter, Community and Business Engagement Student Ambassador, Spring 2025<\/p>\n<p>Link to original story: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwp.edu\/learn\/departments\/cbl\/cblnews.cfm\">https:\/\/www.uwp.edu\/learn\/departments\/cbl\/cblnews.cfm<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UW-Parkside student and geoscience major Angie Rayniak put her learning in action at Hawthorn Hollow Nature Sanctuary and Arboretum as part of a community-based learning course.
