Morgantown, WV -- A state water regulator, Gerald R. Iwan, with more than 30 years experience has been named director of West Virginia University’s National Environmental Services Center (NESC), announced Richard Bajura, director of the National Research Center for Coal and Energy where NESC is housed.
Gerald R. Iwan comes to NESC from Connecticut, where he was chief of the Water Supplies Section of the Department of Health. He has also worked in environmental protection in New York and has served in a leadership capacity in several national organizations dealing with water and the environment. Iwan holds a Ph.D. in biology from Fordham University.
“Small communities face special challenges with their drinking water and wastewater infrastructure that the NESC helps them to address,” said Bajura. “Jerry has experience on the front lines in small communities as well as in our nation’s capital in undertaking efforts to provide safe, affordable drinking water and wastewater treatment in this post-9/11 era.”
“I am delighted that the leadership and staff at NRCCE and NESC have invited me to work with them on continuing and enhancing NESC’s long and highly regarded tradition of education and service to the water, waste, and wastewater sectors,” Iwan said.
“The next few years are going to be exciting, considering population growth, public health, climate, economy, security, and social restructuring. The need for reliable infrastructure, safe, sustainable drinking water resources; and sound waste and wastewater management systems and practices will become even more apparent as we wrestle with these and other emerging issues” Iwan continued.
