Campus ChampionMegan Dill is collecting data to aid next fall’s statistical analysis on the effect of organic versus chemical fertilizer in garden soil. Happening right outside Memorial Library, she will plant vegetable seeds in three new raised beds — one with chemical fertilizer, one with organic soil and a control with no fertilizer — then will measure, photograph and compare the crops. The inclusive education junior credits SCI 141: Integrated Earth Science and Biology professors Michael Hough and Timothy Conner with spurring her interest and the Garden Advisory Committee for ongoing guidance. Her extraordinary energy and enthusiasm will yield results – for science and for the local food pantry.
