The Biology Department and the Chemistry & Environmental Science Department of Lake Superior State University are the first recipients of Chippewa East Mackinac Conservation District's newest award. The Water Guardian award will be presented each year to staunch supporters of protecting water quality. The District recognizes the importance of protecting this precious resource and proactive management to maintain the good water quality found in this area.
Four professors from LSSU fullfill these qualities. Greg Zimmerman, Barb Keller, Ashley Moerke and Dave Szlag have been instrumental in helping the District develop a water quality protection program. They have dedicated their time to pursuits that promote environmental education and have provided valuable technical assistance and student technicians to gather important data.

Members of Lake Superior State University's Fish and Wildlife student club pose with an award from the American Fisheries Society during a meeting in Madison, Wisconsin. The AFS cited them as the most active subunit in its north central division, which encompasses 12 states and provinces in the region. According to the awards committee, Lake Superior State University was the unanimous winner among seven nominated student subunits, some of which are composed of graduate students. The club was commended for well-rounded programs that balance fisheries management experiences, professional development, and community outreach. The past year's activities included lake sturgeon tagging and radio tracking with the US Fish and Wildlife Service and LSSU’s Aquatic Research Lab, timing fish migration out of the St. Mary's River rapids, attending five professional meetings, and organizing two half-day interactive "underwater safaris" for third- through sixth-graders at LSSU's summer science camp.

"My primary career goal is to train and inspire young scientists through teaching and mentoring. As an assistant professor Lake Superior State University, I have the opportunity to realize these aspirations through the classroom and through research. I teach courses in ichthyology, fish ecology, fish culture, and fisheries management."
