PROPHET AQUATIC RESEARCH & OUTREACH CENTER


AQUATIC RESEARCH ON ESU'S CAMPUS




PROPHET AQUATIC RESEARCH & OUTREACH CENTER

The Prophet Aquatic Research and Outreach Center (PAROC) provides hands-on
learning opportunities on our campus! Emporia State University is the only
university in Kansas with an aquatic research and outreach facility on campus.


THE GOAL

The PAROC enhances ESU's capacity for outreach education. The PAROC expands our
ability to educate the public about the importance of water and aquatic
environments and expand the opportunity for students and teachers to research
aquatic organisms at Emporia State. During an academic school year, numerous
students will use the PAROC for their research projects. Many of the elementary
and secondary education science majors will also use the PAROC because they are
required to take courses that prepare them to provide their students with
opportunities for hands-on activities to learn about biology. The PAROC will
provide a space for teaching portions of those courses that prepare teachers.


HIGH-IMPACT LEARNING

Some of the goals of the PAROC are to increase the number of high-impact
learning activities available to our students and individuals across the state;
increase collaboration efforts with local K-12 schools to educate the state on
the value of natural resources with a special focus on aquatic environments; and
increase the number of professionals trained at Emporia State for careers in
natural resources.

Research opportunities at PAROC will provide high-impact learning for students.
The outreach efforts within the Emporia community and beyond will include but
are not limited to working with and educating preschool children; K-12 students;
Boy Scouts; Girl Scouts; 4-H members; prospective students; Kansas Department of
Wildlife, Parks and Tourism; Nature Conservancy; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service;
Evergy; and Wolf Creek employees.


THE FACILITY

The PAROC is a facility built on the shores of ESU’s King Lake. The building is
supported by poles that elevate the facility more than 6 feet above
ground-level. The PAROC has three laboratories, a large flexible-use outreach
classroom, and live animal exhibits featuring aquatic species native to our
region. The largest laboratory space is designed to house experimental aquatic
tanks that will provide opportunities for experimental studies on aquatic
organisms. In addition, the Neosho River and a variety of outdoor learning
spaces can be easily accessed via the Dale Greiner Nature Trail that winds
through the ESU Campus Woods.



Meet Dr. Carl Prophet

Emporia State University named its Aquatic Research and Outreach Center for Dr.
Carl W. Prophet who first experienced Emporia State’s high-impact learning
practices more than 60 years ago as a student in biological sciences.
