A huge congratulations to graduate students Alexis Jackson, Dogil Lee and Katie Schoenberger for their well-deserved honors from the UF Water Institute! We’re incredibly proud to celebrate their outstanding contributions.

Alexis Jackson, a Water Institute ambassador, fostered student engagement and a vibrant graduate community. She helped organize student-focused events like the Lunch by the Water seminar series and networking sessions, providing invaluable leadership opportunities.

Dogil Lee’s travel award enabled him to present his research at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) conference, connecting with leading professionals and enhancing his skills.

Schoenberger’s photograph was selected for the 2025 Water Institute Calendar! Her winning image captures UF Center for Coastal Solutions (CCS) Research Coordinator Patrick Norby and student Audrey Haynes setting up to collect data on the hydrodynamics of underwater plants in Florida springs, contributing to research on algae buildup and removal.
