Water Fellows Programs
Across the State

The Colorado Water Fellows Program prepares the next generation of water leaders by training and connecting undergraduate and graduate students to careers and opportunities in the water field.

What does it mean to be a Water Fellow?

This academic-year long program is designed to prepare students for careers in the water field and connect them to opportunities, attending water conferences and field trips, and joining monthly meetings that delve into critical water topics. The emphasis on a holistic, interdisciplinary understanding of water-related issues prepares the Water Fellows to navigate the complexities of the field.
