Recently, we awarded a scholarship to Patricia Fish. Here is a summary of how this scholarship helped expand her connections and environmental education knowledge:
Thank you, RIEEA, for the PD scholarship to attend the NAAEE conference virtually! This was my first time attending the NAAEE conference, and I loved it! I was thoroughly impressed with the incredible lineup of speakers. I found the presentations inspiring and very practical. I’m especially excited about what I learned from the sessions on storytelling, Civic Engagement, and boosting student agency in our local community. I came away with many resources and ideas. I love that we have access to the recorded sessions on the platform even after the conference. I am discovering so many wonderful resources I can use. I look forward to connecting with others as I explore all of the material.
