CUAHSI Engagement Offerings
Posted Jul 7, 2026
Are you interested in bringing a CUAHSI talk or training to your campus or classroom? We welcome opportunities to connect with faculty and students through virtual or in-person seminar presentations, workshops, or interactive demonstrations. CUAHSI staff are available! These sessions are tailored to your audience and can be in-person or virtual. These visits introduce water researchers and students to CUAHSI programs and tools, support data-ready research practices, and help us connect with new communities. We welcome requests from member institutions, prospective members, and the broader water science community.
