PROFESSOR HAWKINS AND UGA FRESHMAN SEMINAR STUDENTS VISIT SKAPS INDUSTRIES

The Freshman Seminar that Professor Hawkins teaches covers topics such as stormwater, erosion, and sedimentation, and on-site wastewater treatment. He has been discussing different products with his students, from plastics to natural materials, that help reduces stormwater runoff, erosion, and sedimentation, and so it was a great opportunity for them to see how the materials they encounter daily go from the raw material stage to a finished product, and how those products are made and tested.
