Stellar Student - Tate Rogers

Auditorium, D. H. Hill Jr. Library

Tate Rogers, an environmental engineering graduate student at NC State, had an idea: what if you used an age-old tool “ the auger “ to improve sewage management in developing countries? This innovative solution to a persistent problem gained support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Now Rogers, along with a team of researchers led by NC State professor Robert Borden, is moving forward with prototyping and field testing this equipment. Find out more about the genesis of Rogers' idea and see a live demo of the tool in this installment of NCSU Libraries' Stellar Student Series.
