EPA Invests in New Jersey Students with Grant for Rowan University
NEW YORK (Sept. 12, 2023) – Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) announced that it has awarded a $100,000 grant to Rowan University in
Glassboro, New Jersey. This grant will provide tools to introduce students,
teachers, and community members to information about careers that are in
critical need of promotion and diversity.
The E3 project, which stands for Educate, Empower and Employ, will focus on
educating future generations about their environment, specifically renewable
energy, and climate change. E3 will engage local K-12 students and educators,
college students and community members to increase public awareness and
knowledge about climate change and renewable energy. It will also promote
environmental stewardship, and practice skills required for developing a
sustainable and low-carbon future. Students and teachers at local county
colleges and members of environmental education non-profit organizations will
engage in topics that include air pollution, wind, and tidal energy. All
project participants will be called upon to think critically about ways to
reduce the carbon footprint in their respective communities.
“The E3 project at Rowan University is designed to engage learners of all
ages through hands on teaching and will encourage participants to think
critically about ways to reduce their carbon footprint,” said Regional
Administrator Lisa F. Garcia. “Projects like this get young people engaged
in protecting the environment and encourage them to consider careers in
science and technology to promote environmental protection.”
This school year, thanks to President Biden’s Investing in America agenda,
students across the country are going back to school with the opportunities
for the greener and cleaner future they deserve. Through the investments in
the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act, EPA is
helping to build a future where all children can breathe cleaner air, drink
cleaner water, and live in healthier neighborhoods. For more information about
