We had an incredible opportunity to visit the City of Bridgeport POTW with our Occupational Safety Air & Water Pollution class! 💧

A huge thank you to the team for taking the time to give us a behind-the-scenes look at the wastewater treatment process and the critical work that goes into protecting our water resources every day.

Experiences like this bring classroom concepts to life and help our students better understand the real-world impact of environmental and safety practices.
We truly appreciate your partnership and commitment to education and sustainability!
