From internship to full-time position, WRM graduate continues hydrology work at USGS By Anica Graney Growing up in Vilas County, Wis., Water Resources Management (WRM) graduate Robert Rosner said his interests have always revolved around being outdoors. Whether it be going fishing, reading a book, taking a hike, or playing sports, Rosner enjoyed spending time outside in the north woods of Wisconsin. While studying biology at Ripon College for his undergraduate degree, Rosner’s passion for the outdoors led him to apply for an internship with Clean Boats, Clean Waters in the county that he grew up in. “For two summers I worked at boat landings talking to the boaters about invasive species and basic natural resources management,” Rosner said. Rosner’s internship experience opened his eyes to the issues facing water bodies. “I took it for granted as a kid having access to immaculate water bodies. Especially when I left and realized not everybody has that,” Rosner said. This realization led Rosner to apply for the Nelson Institute WRM program during his senior year at Ripon College. The WRM program is a 45-credit Master of Science degree that prepares students to face the complexities of managing water resources. Students choose an area specialty and follow a core curriculum that reflects the diversity of knowledge and interdisciplinary experience needed in water resources planning and management.
