Colorado Water Fellows Update Our 2024-2025 Colorado Water Fellows have been busy this semester! They attended the Water in the West Symposium, where they engaged with the water community and even introduced some of the sessions. They toured Denver Water's Operations Facility and have connected with leaders from around the country for coffee. Each month they've been joined by guest speakers, worked on professional development projects, and have increased their knowledge about water and the industry. Next semester, they look forward to attending Colorado Water Congress, exploring in the field, engaging with environmental art, and connecting with Water Fellows from all corners of Colorado. |
