I am the lead professor at the Diablo Valley College's Plant Science Program,and Ms.Gupta has been a student of mine this spring semester.She is in several of my classes, including Sustainable Water Management,a class that includes California's water history and reclaimed water use in regenerative agriculture and urban settings. Ms.Gupta is a very positive addition to my classes.She is one of the rare students who combines life,academic skills,and cooperative learning expertise.She works well with all the students in our program,and community colleges have a very diverse student population. Her knowledge and abilities place her in the top 1%of our student body, but she works carefully to support other students.She is tactful, honest, reliable and a joy to have in class. She cares greatly about water,water quality,water management and understands the hydrological,chemical and social realities that impact water reuse.She is exactly the kind of young person needed as Central San. moves forward into our chaotic and unstable California climate situation. Please contact me if you have any questions I can answer regarding Ms.Gupta. My cell phone#is(925)899-8030, and a message can be left at any time.
