By participating in the federal Ocean Justice Strategy, Dr. Candace Kairies-Beatty integrates her scientific knowledge with policy-making into her Geoscience curriculum.
Her work exemplifies how Winona State’s faculty extend learning beyond the classroom to address global challenges.

After excelling in her Geoscience classes, Megan Otten ’21 was chosen to map the Root River watershed using LIDAR technology.
Her work has helped the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency in improving local water quality.
