Students in Dr. Emily Garner’s graduate Biological Wastewater Treatment Engineering course visited the Moorefield/Hardy County Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Town of Romney Wastewater Treatment Plant to see classroom concepts in action.

The trip gave students a hands-on look at how engineering design, microbiology, and process control work together to keep West Virginia’s water clean.

Thank you to the staff at both facilities for sharing your expertise and supporting our future engineers!

This week, our CE 479 students showcased their hard work and innovation during their capstone presentations! The project focused on designing and evaluating alternatives for a deteriorating bridge in Moundsville, WV. Working in six specialized groups—structural, geotechnical, hydraulic, environmental, roadway, and traffic control—students collaborated to determine the most viable solution. We’re proud to see our future engineers putting their skills into real-world applications!

We are thrilled to announce that Kara Cunningham, one of our outstanding students, has been selected as a recipient of the 2025 American Water Works Association (AWWA) Five Under 35 Outstanding Young Professional Award!

This prestigious award recognizes young professionals under the age of 35 who have demonstrated exceptional leadership and dedication within the water industry. Kara’s passion for the water sector, along with her contributions to the AWWA community, have truly set her apart. From founding the WVU Student Chapter to launching the HydroLink networking event, and serving as Vice Chair of the Microbiological Contaminants Research Committee, Kara has continuously gone above and beyond to inspire her peers and advocate for the future of water.

We couldn’t be more proud of her accomplishments and this well-deserved recognition!

Kara will be honored at the AWWA Annual Conference & Exposition (ACE) in Denver this June. Please join us in congratulating her on this incredible achievement!

We’re thrilled to share that Luke Brumback, a senior in Civil and Environmental Engineering at West Virginia University, has been named one of the 2025 New Faces of Civil Engineering - College honorees by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)! Only 10 students nationwide receive this honor each year, and Luke’s dedication to engineering, leadership, and conservation has earned him a well-deserved spot on this prestigious list.

As the captain of WVU’s Steel Bridge Team and an active member of ASCE, Luke has grown into a leader in the civil engineering field. His passion for soil science and conservation stems from his upbringing on a farm, where he saw firsthand the impacts of erosion and ecological challenges. Now, he’s channeling that passion into a future career in civil engineering.

Luke’s journey through ASCE has shaped him into the engineer he is today, sharpening his communication, networking, and critical thinking skills. Join us in celebrating his incredible achievement!

We had the pleasure of hosting six bright students from Pineville Middle School and their dedicated science teacher as they toured our labs on campus! These incredible students are competing in the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow contest, where they've already won $12,000—with the potential to win up to $100,000 in prizes and science equipment for their school!

During their visit, they explored our labs, checked out our bioreactors, and even got to ride the PRT! We were thrilled to provide them with Geobacter to help strengthen their earth-powered batteries—an innovative project that could make a real impact.

Best of luck in your next competition! We’re cheering you on!
