This EC scholarship allows King\u2019s students to gain hands-on experience through an internship which aligns with EC\u2019s mission. Furthermore, the work that students do in this internship counts for three college credits, funded by the scholarship, which helps students work towards earning their degrees. Carolyn has been selected as a recipient of the Earth Conservancy Summer 2026 Scholarship and has chosen to return to work with EPCAMR for this internship opportunity. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0You can read about Carolyn&#8217;s initial time with EPCAMR in this previous news article.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carolyn tells us, \u201cI\u2019m so honored that I was selected as a recipient of this amazing scholarship! I never would have expected that such an opportunity would have been made possible for me so early in my college career. Without this internship, I would have needed to wait until the fall semester of college to return to work with EPCAMR as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kings.edu\/life_at_kings\/shoval-center\/community-based-work-study.html\">Community-Based Federal Work Study<\/a> student intern. I would have missed getting involved with all the sampling and monitoring that EPCAMR does throughout the summer, which I\u2019ve really wanted to be a part of! Now, thanks to Earth Conservancy, I can focus on getting out in the field without worrying about falling behind with course work!\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI really like how this internship is run differently from my other college courses. There are virtually no assignments, except for updating my supervising professor, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kings.edu\/directory\/profiles\/brian-mangan.html\">Dr. Brain Mangan<\/a>, on my tasks and activities each week. Instead of me taking a midterm and final exam, Bobby has to complete a midterm and final assessment of the quality of my work. It\u2019s more like I\u2019m giving him homework! I\u2019ll have to work hard so that he has only good things to say about me!\u201d Carolyn joked.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13516\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/CarolynPhillipsKingsAMDTieDye.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13516\" data-attachment-id=\"13516\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/2026\/carolyn-m-phillips-returns-to-epcamr-sponsored-by-an-earth-conservancy-summer-2026scholarship\/carolynphillipskingsamdtiedye\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/CarolynPhillipsKingsAMDTieDye.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2048,1536\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"CarolynPhillipsKingsAMDTieDye\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Carolyn organized the Holy Cross Day of Service EPCAMR AMD Tie-Dye Activity on Campus in Wilkes-Barre just before the Spring Semester came to an end with Bobby and Maria.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Carolyn organized the Holy Cross Day of Service EPCAMR AMD Tie-Dye Activity on Campus in Wilkes-Barre just before the Spring Semester came to an end with Bobby and Maria.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/CarolynPhillipsKingsAMDTieDye-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"size-large wp-image-13516\" src=\"https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/CarolynPhillipsKingsAMDTieDye-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/CarolynPhillipsKingsAMDTieDye-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/CarolynPhillipsKingsAMDTieDye-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/CarolynPhillipsKingsAMDTieDye-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/CarolynPhillipsKingsAMDTieDye-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/CarolynPhillipsKingsAMDTieDye.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13516\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Carolyn organized the Holy Cross Day of Service EPCAMR AMD Tie-Dye Activity on Campus in Wilkes-Barre just before the Spring Semester came to an end with Bobby and Maria.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carolyn mentioned, \u201cIn all seriousness, I\u2019m very grateful to have been chosen for this opportunity. There are a lot of people who helped me secure this internship. Dr. Brian Mangan, who is the Director of the Environmental Program at King\u2019s and my supervising professor for this internship, informed me of the opportunity and encouraged me to apply. I am so thankful for his unwavering support. The Office of Career Planning was extremely helpful in the application process, answering any and all questions I had. They were also partly responsible for deciding which students would be awarded the scholarship, so I\u2019m grateful they chose me. EPCAMR has my gratitude for welcoming me back so soon after I finished this semester\u2019s Community-Based Federal Work Study with them. I look forward to continuing to be a part of the EPCAMR team! And finally, a big thank you to Earth Conservancy, who proposed and funded this scholarship. This scholarship truly reflects their efforts to increase involvement in similar causes to their own.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13518\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/CarolynPhillipsSchuylkillRiverCongress_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13518\" data-attachment-id=\"13518\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/2026\/carolyn-m-phillips-returns-to-epcamr-sponsored-by-an-earth-conservancy-summer-2026scholarship\/carolynphillipsschuylkillrivercongress_n\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/CarolynPhillipsSchuylkillRiverCongress_n.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2048,1536\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"CarolynPhillipsSchuylkillRiverCongress_n\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Carolyn attended the Schuylkill River Watershed Congress at Alvernia College in Reading to be a Room Facilitator, along with Maria, while Bobby was there to present. &lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Carolyn attended the Schuylkill River Watershed Congress at Alvernia College in Reading to be a Room Facilitator, along with Maria, while Bobby was there to present. &lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/CarolynPhillipsSchuylkillRiverCongress_n-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"size-large wp-image-13518\" src=\"https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/CarolynPhillipsSchuylkillRiverCongress_n-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/CarolynPhillipsSchuylkillRiverCongress_n-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/CarolynPhillipsSchuylkillRiverCongress_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/CarolynPhillipsSchuylkillRiverCongress_n-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/CarolynPhillipsSchuylkillRiverCongress_n-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/CarolynPhillipsSchuylkillRiverCongress_n.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13518\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Carolyn attended the Schuylkill River Watershed Congress at Alvernia College in Reading to be a Room Facilitator, along with Maria, while Bobby was there to present.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Bobby stated, &#8220;Carolyn has been a valuable member of the EPCAMR team through her involvement in the Communit-Based Federal Work Study Program. It is very beneficial to us, since we often do not have the funds to create paid internships, unless grant funds are budgeted and can be allocated to support the internship positions. The students are paid through the Work Study Program, I serve as their Supervisor and Mentor, and they follow our activity description of tasks and work projects that we are currently working on during the time that they are with us. She will continue to get lots of hands-on learning and applied science activities during her internship over the next 12 weeks. This scholarship from Earth Conservancy is wonderful for her and for us. They have been a very strong advocate and supporter of our work over our entire time we&#8217;ve existed and we&#8217;ve been a part of their work in many capacities and still are. Carolyn already works very well with the rest of the Staff and our community volunteers and has already gained a lot of knowledge on the work that we do in the region to assess and restore our watersheds impacted by legacy AMD. She&#8217;s been very instrumental in helping to categorize my Google Contacts list to help EPCAMR target reaching out to vendors and partners of ours to invite them to attend our Fall <a href=\"https:\/\/epcamr.org\/home\/2026\/epcamr-30th-anniversary-celebration\/\">30th Anniversary Banquet and Dinner\/Reception<\/a> to celebrate this amazing milestone of ours. That&#8217;s no easy task with over 7000 contacts to be sorted and labeled,&#8221; Bobby joked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Carolyn lives in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shickshinnyhistoricalsociety.org\/brief-history-of-shickshinny\">Shickshinny<\/a>, at the southern part of the Wyoming Valley, where we are working on completing a Coldwater Conservation Plan for the Shickshinny Creek, Rocky Run, and Paddy Run watersheds. She&#8217;s familiar with the area and is currently reaching out to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shickshinnyhistoricalsociety.org\/\">Shickshinny Historical Society<\/a> and Museum&#8217;s Director, Jimmy Bach, to research any historical mine maps of the area that EPCAMR can scan and utilize in our report. Jimmy has an amazing YouTube collection on the site and his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shickshinnyhistoricalsociety.org\/history-with-jimmy\">History with Jimmy<\/a> videos are great! We&#8217;ve offered to scan the maps for Jim and provide them to him digitally for allowing us to borrow the maps and scan them to get them into our report and possibly into the Mine Subsidence Insurance&#8217;s (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pa.gov\/services\/dep\/apply-for-department-of-environmental-protection-mine-subsidence-insurance\">MSI<\/a>) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.minemaps.psu.edu\/\">Mine Map Atlas<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ahs.dep.pa.gov\/Phummis\/\">PA Historical Underground Mine Map Inventory System<\/a> (PHUMMIS).
