Shifted entirely online to accommodate changing circumstances, the event allows students to present their findings via virtual posters, storymaps, and multimedia presentations to an audience of peers and professional evaluators. These expert reviewers offer constructive critiques, helping participants sharpen their professional communication and presentation skills. In addition to student research, the symposium hosts a free public screening of the documentary film Hidden Rivers\u00a0to broaden community engagement and raise awareness about critical aquatic ecosystems. To incentivize high-quality contributions and show gratitude, the organizing committee distributes custom-branded glass cups to standout presenters and volunteer evaluators. Backed by the NAU Student Club Organization and Dr. Denielle Perry, this initiative effectively reduces physical resource overhead while reinforcing the university&#8217;s commitment to water stewardship, multidisciplinary education, and environmental justice.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- shortcode-column -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-column shortcode-column--count-2\">\n    \n<h5>Project Lead:<\/h5>\n<p>Damian Bednarz<\/p>\n<h5>Project Advisor:<\/h5>\n<p>Dr. Denialle Perry<\/p>\n<h5>Date:<\/h5>\n<p>2020-05-27<\/p>\n<h5>Funding Amount:<\/h5>\n<p>$1,141.10<\/p>\n<h5>Department:<\/h5>\n<p>NAU Student Club Organization<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2026\/06\/UGRAD_Water_Symposium_2020_Event_Sponsoship.pdf\">Supporting Documents<\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3002,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"ring_central_script_selection":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5911","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5911","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3002"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5911"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5911\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5913,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5911\/revisions\/5913"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5911"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
