Congratulations to Lacy Lackey
Lacy Lackey, a second semester junior at Washington State University, is the recipient of the Wanda Munn Scholarship this year. This scholarship, named after one of our section members who still lives in the Tri-Cities, is funded by the Eastern Washington Section of SWE.
Lacy is studying Civil & Environmental Engineering at WSU. At WSU she is the president and re-founder of a start-up club called the Water Resources Club. She is also participating in research into how tire wear particles can be broken down by microbes in stormwater, mitigating their negative effects on salmon. When not working on school-related projects, Lacy enjoys backpacking and camping trips, kayaking, and being on Zoom calls with her friends. She looks forward to a career in water engineering, focusing on watershed restoration, water reuse design, and stormwater mitigation. From her upbringing in Northern California – and inspired by the 2015 wildfires in her hometown there – Lacy feels that hydrating our landscapes with more versatile water infrastructure is key to human and ecosystem resiliency in the coming extreme weather conditions.
