The CSM student chapter is the first AWWA/WEF chapter founded in Colorado in spring 2003. The purpose of the student chapter is to provide a forum for undergraduate and graduate students for the exchange of information and ideas through networking and mentoring between students, faculty, and professionals of AWWA and WEF. Students interested in future job opportunities in the water community meet with the full spectrum of occupations: treatment plant operators, managers, scientists, environmentalists, manufacturers, academicians and regulators. |
