These guins are making a difference in your drinking water! 💧🐧

Our students interning with the Youngstown Public Water System earned glowing remarks from the water compliance coordinator Nick D’Alesio.

He stated, "The interns have provided a tremendous service to PWS while gaining valuable, real-world, on-site work experience. They have used their unique skillsets to digitize water infrastructure, develop solutions to mitigate water loss throughout the PWS system, provide analysis of water consumption and service line materials, while becoming valuable and well-liked members of the PWS team."

We are grateful for this continued partnership between PWS and our Humanities and Social Sciences Department!

Have you watered the Liberty Tree yet? 🌳🔔

This American Elm, dedicated May 1, 2026, stands proudly between the Beeghly Center and Campus Recreation symbolizing American freedom. During the American Revolution, patriots met beneath an Elm tree in Boston to protest British tyranny, which we commemorate through our celebration of America250. 🦅🐧
