Lincoln University recieved a $15,000 grant from the United States Environmental Protection Agency to host a Water Boot Camp.  The grant is the result of a partnership agreement signed on January 27, 2012, to prepare students for future careers in water-related environmental and scientific fields.

The Water Boot Camp was held from July 23, 2012, to July 27, 2012, at Lincoln University for students from LU and local high schools, including Jefferson City High School and Helias Catholic High School in Jefferson City, Mo. Students became familiar with the essential concepts of water quality, treatment, and the operations and responsibilities of water utilities and professionals who are charged with providing clean, safe, potable water.

Lincoln University faculty and staff presented educational sessions consisting of lectures, group activities, laboratory tasks, tours of facilities, field trips, and information about Geographic Information Systems.  The Missouri Department of Natural Resources and Missouri American Water Company also provided experts in water quality to serve as teachers during the boot camp.
