Internships translate into jobs and more
 Can a water-focused internship or a scholarship steer high school students to successful careers in the water sector? The Water Environment Federation (Alexandria, Va.) asked some former students who have been there and done just that.
When we have operators trained as technologists in our water resource recovery facilities, how will we not lose them to environmental management positions?
 On Oct. 1, two water-sector leaders will take the podium during WEFTEC® 2014 Technical Session 521 to discuss numeric nutrient criteria and an implementation plan.
Raj Bhattarai, manager of the Environmental and Regulatory Services Division for the Austin (Texas) Water Utility, and Ana Peña-Tijerina, process engineer for Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility (Fort Worth, Texas), will give a joint presentation during the session titled “Recent Developments in Numeric Nutrient Criteria.”
WEF contributes to scholarships for international water-sector education
 Water-sector leaders received a unique opportunity to participate in Singapore International Water Week and gain an international perspective on how to ensure a continual supply of safe and reliable water in the future.
 Water Environment Federation (WEF; Alexandria, Va.) staff members took time to spread the message of the value of water and to educate about wastewater treatment. On June 10, WEF welcomed 75 middle-school students from Lyles-Crouch Traditional Academy (Alexandria, Va.) to its headquarters as part of the service project “Operation H2O,” organized by the staff volunteer group, WEF Eco.
Deepika Kurup comes back to place first at national competition
 Deepika Kurup may only be a sophomore at Nashua (N.H.) High School South but she already has an impressive track record for research. In 2013, Kurup was runner-up in the U.S. Stockholm Junior Water Prize (SJWP). For the 2014 competition, she continued working on her project and it paid off.
