Sonoma State University has received a $330,000 grant from the Sonoma County Water Agency for academic and sustainability programs in the University's WATERS collaborative.
The WATERS Collaborative served as a model for innovation collaborations between business and academics when Program Lead, Claudia Luke kicked off the Nature!Tech Conference.
WATERS collaborated with the School of Science & Technology, the Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Experiences (SOURCE), and others to host a campus wide symposium that celebrated the achievements of SSU students engaged in inquiry.
Waters Program Lead and CEI Director Claudia Luke moderated the Sustainable Water panel this year at the 2016 Sustainable Enterprise Conference. Panel speakers included Mark Trotta (SCWA), Baji Gobburi (Cambrian Solutions), and Mike Cohen (SSU).
Managing the impact of development on water resources is again an urgent challenge in California.
When NASA saw the drought’s impact from their satellites and announced that California could run out of water in a year if enough rain did not fall, the need to connect SSU students to regional water issues became even more critical.
Check out the new video of our faculty and students charging ahead to grapple with real-world environmental challenges.
The SSU Science Symposium was a success this year with most posters and greatest attendance to date.
