About the Keystone
Project
Watershed Stewardship Practicum
The key element of the watershed stewardship graduate
studies program is an 8 credit, two-semester project in which students
work in teams with community, government and business leaders to
analyze and understand natural resources problems in a selected
watershed and creatively synthesize appropriate solutions in the
form of a written watershed stewardship plan. These watershed planning
projects, called Keystone Projects, provide students with a real
world, hands-on educational opportunity while also providing valuable
service to Pennsylvania communities. The practicums are taken in
the second year of the option.
The practicums are instructed by the Director
and Associate Director at the Center. Additional faculty and resource
professionals are involved in Keystone projects through Faculty
Fellowship appointments to enhance the expertise available to the
students in various disciplines related to the project.
