Colorado Water Fellows at the
One World One Water Center

The Colorado Water Fellows at the OWOW Center is a branch of the Colorado Water Center Water Fellows Program. The Water Fellows Program is expanding, with programs beginning across the state. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the Water Fellows program will be held at Metropolitan State University of Denver, University of Denver, Colorado State University, University of Colorado Boulder, Colorado Mesa University, and Fort Lewis College. 

The academic-year-long program is designed to prepare undergraduate students at MSU Denver for careers in the water field and connect them to opportunities. This includes attendance at water conferences, field trips, and monthly meetings that delve into critical topics such as water law, water equity and justice, water careers, Tribal perspectives, and one water approaches.

The emphasis on a holistic, interdisciplinary understanding of water-related issues prepares the Water Fellows to navigate the complexities of the field.
