EVEN Community attends 2017 AWWA Water Quality Technology Conference
Earlier this month, about 20 Environmental Engineering students and faculty members traveled to Portland, Oregon to attend the AWWA Water Quality Technology Conference from November 12th-15th. The American Water Works Association’s mission is to provide water solutions that ensure the effective management of water. This highly regarded annual conference serves as a forum for professionals in the water technology industry to share the latest research, projects, and information. Attending the WQTC allowed our faculty to meet with other industry professionals and allowed students to network with some of the nation’s top water quality companies.
