Asale´ Jones in Freshwater Cleveland Story About Fresh Water Institute Program

2/5/2026

Asalé Jones ‘26 is included in a Freshwater Cleveland story about Cuyahoga County’s Fresh Water Institute, a program introducing a new generation of stewards to a crucial natural asset. The institute, which celebrated its one-year anniversary in December, aims to integrate sustainability and environmental health into daily life.

The article states that, “Laurel School senior Asalé Jones served as an institute fellow last year, inspired by the universal, yet unevenly distributed, right to environmental protection. Jones only had the barest understanding of this subject before attending Laurel, she says.”

“‘Stuff like this is not taught at public schools. I didn’t know about environmental justice, or that it was something people could advocate for. You can’t care for something you know nothing about. This program did a great job of teaching me and igniting that spark.’”

The story continues with details about what Asalé completed during her fellowship, like measuring oxygen and acidity levels off Kellys Island.
