This September, 13 new graduate students and nine new faculty advisors will be joining our program as our Year 5 cohort, representing a record eight departments in five colleges across the University of Washington. In true transdisciplinary fashion, participants will be bringing their interest and expertise in everything from fisheries science, resilient cities planning, and water allocation rights, to urban stormwater contaminants, hydrological modeling, and environmental justice storytelling. Over the next year, Future Rivers will help these students explore the many angles of freshwater science and their intersectionality, while building skills to prepare them for life after graduate school. Join us in a warm welcome!
