  Thesis: Bend in the River: Institutionalization of Modern Environmentalism in United States Government Structures and Saving the Delaware from Dam-nation, 1955-1975 Abstract: It is astonishing that the mere suggestion of building a massive public works project could radically alter the cultural and physical landscape of a region, regardless of whether or not that project was completed or even properly begun. But this is precisely what happened in the Delaware River Basin between 1955 and 1975, as government agencies and representatives deliberated over building a massive earthen dam at Tocks Island. An examination of how government authorities engaged in that debate from start to finish will demonstrate how extensively the endorsement of new environmentalist concepts and ideals revolutionized the American approach to public works projects, and, by extension, how this dynamic sea-change in values radically altered the cultural and physical landscape of the Delaware Basin.

  Graduate Assistant

  
  The majority of my duties and responsibilities while employed as a graduate assistant by my academic department were administrative in nature. I oriented guests to the department offices, graded tests, quizzes, and papers for department professors, and was occasionally invited to proctor tests and quizzes, especially midterms and final exams. I also enjoyed several opportunities to guest lecture for Professor Michael Gray.
