Attending Environmental Connections in 2014 was an amazing experience; it opened my eyes to the range of professionals and expertise involved in erosion control and natural channel management. IECA is the professional organization I most highly recommend to students and friends interested in this industry.

As a student member of IECA my experience with the organization has been overwhelmingly positive. Attending both the international and regional conferences supported by IECA has allowed me to access and network with a vast group of erosion and sediment control and water resources professionals. This has been invaluable in helping me stay up-to-date on cutting edge ESC developments, and IECA’s workshops and webinars have been a tremendous resource when it comes to building my practical skill set as well.

I have gained valuable experience at TRIECA 2015, 2016, and Environmental Connection 2016. Presenting my research as part of the poster sessions highlighted the importance of effectively communicate my work and helped me understand how research conducted at the university level fits into the real world. Interacting with many industry professionals and academics sparked interesting conversations that not only improved my academic performance, but also promoted personal growth.
