Kelsey Little ‘18, Works to Improve Water Quality in the Upper Tennessee River Watershed

Little served as an intern for Upper Tennessee River Roundtable, which works to improve water quality in the Upper Tennessee River Watershed.

The Raleigh, North Carolina native worked with the non-profit organization on environmental education and outreach for children in the area and helped write a grant for an outdoor classroom in Saltville, VA.

From this experience she has learned how important it is to educate the youth about the environment and to become comfortable with the outdoors. The environmental science major hopes to have a career with a non-profit organization and “spread her love for the environment.”
