Watershed Sciences Graduate Symposium

The morning symposium provides an opportunity for our graduate students to present ideas about their thesis/dissertation research and to receive feedback regarding their plans. Your comments and insights are welcome and expected. We will hear from a good mix of MS and PhD students. Whether you are there to give feedback, support your fellow students, find out what everyone is working on, network, socialize, or are curious about grad school yourself, all are welcome! Refreshments, including donuts, pastries, fruit, coffee, and tea, will be provided and available starting at 8am. 2026 WATS Graduate Symposium Agenda 8:30: Introduction 8:40: Kayla Hancey, PhD (Teal) 9:00: Katia Quezada-Villa, MS (Atwood) 9:20: Leonce Ngirinshuti, PhD (Hawkins) 9:40: Anna Amidon, MS (Budy) 10:00: Lindsay Hansen, PhD (Budy) 10:20: Break 10:40: Sajad Koshnood, PhD (Moraes) 11:00: Wes Johnston, MS (Scamardo) 11:20: Bethany Blakey, MS (Scamardo) 11:40: Sophie Stiles, PhD (Belmont) 12:00: Phoebe Brown, MS (Walsworth) 12:20: Anna Shampain, PhD (Hotaling/Brahney)
