Our long term vision, slowed with the pandemic, is to house a unique water-centric undergraduate “Blue Semester” interdisciplinary program to introduce students to the rapidly growing opportunities in the “blue economy" & to also create a generation of “water knowledge ambassadors" to better serve the world.
