The benefit to the students is that they are more competitive when they look for future opportunities, either in research, the workforce or graduate programs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCassandra has taken on all the opportunities and excelled at them,\u201d Larson adds. \u201cShe was going to do well anywhere she went. Research programs like the one we have open doors that these students can walk through and take as far as they want. She\u2019s turning her research into a thesis that we see as something publishable in the scientific literature.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, Cassandra\u2019s research field expanded when she received support from the Conover Undergraduate Research Endowed Fund. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eckerd.edu\/news\/blog\/alumnus-independent-research-natural-and-social-sciences\/\">The endowment was established in 2022 by David Conover \u201975 and his wife, Margaret<\/a>, and supports Eckerd students majoring in the natural and social sciences in their undergraduate research projects, with preference given to marine science students and a strong preference for marine biology students. The Conovers directed that the awards be based on the originality of the research, be a minimum of $1,000, and should assist as many students as possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Conover Fund award allows me to continue my research on the impacts of the 2021 Piney Point emergency discharge of phosphate-rich wastewater on the Tampa Bay floor,\u201d Cassandra says. \u201cThe research is a blend of understanding our environment and determining better ways to use our instruments to analyze similar events. The funding will help support the acquisition and analysis of more samples, creating a more cohesive database of the environment prior to the event and its reaction to the discharge.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;8825&#8243; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;entrance&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;16&#8243;][vc_column_text]<em>Cassandra Guzman on the College&#8217;s 24&#8242; Capehorn research vessel collecting pH, dissolved oxygen, salinity, and temperature measurements in Tampa Bay for the ongoing Piney Point discharge analysis.
