As the Smith Mountain Lake Water Quality Monitoring Program prepares to celebrate its 40th anniversary this fall, we'll be sharing photos and memories from four decades of research, discovery, and environmental stewardship.
We're starting with the program's newest student scientists: Dashawn Nichting, Gracie Edwards, Ashly Cutcliff, and Dew Adams. This summer, they are conducting vital water-quality testing and carrying forward a tradition of hands-on scientific research that has helped monitor and protect Smith Mountain Lake for 40 years.
Stay tuned as we look back at the people, projects, and milestones that have shaped this enduring Ferrum College program.

Thank you to Aila Boyd for highlighting Ferrum College's natural beauty, environmental legacy, and the distinctive character of our 700-acre campus. From the wildlife around Adams Lake to the breathtaking sunrises and sunsets that paint our skies, Ferrum offers a learning environment unlike any other.
As one of the nation's first colleges to offer an environmental studies program, we're proud that our commitment to connecting education with the natural world continues to impress visitors and students alike.
This stunning sunset over Adams Lake, captured by Dr. Tina Hanlon, is just one example of the beauty our students, faculty, staff, and visitors experience every day.

Zeke Keel, a wrestling champion in high school, needed financial aid in order to attend college. He received a scholarship to a larger university but did not feel at home there. He felt lost and lacking the support he needed for success. He was ready to give up on college and quit his wrestling career – until he discovered Ferrum College. Zeke shared that transferring was the best decision he has made.
Zeke was named Most Outstanding Wrestler at the 2026 NCWA Mid-Atlantic Conference Wrestling Championships in early March and became Ferrum College’s first-ever national champion at the 2026 NCWA National Championships on March 28 in Louisiana. It would not have been an option without the financial aid he is receiving.
In his own words:
“It has been amazing coming to a place where I feel genuinely supported.” Needless to say, receiving the financial aid he needed and coming to Ferrum College have kept his wrestling career and dreams alive.
If you’ve already made a gift this fiscal year, thank you! You are a part of stories like Zeke’s.
We need your urgent help to open more doors. Will you help open the door for another student today?
