Hello there,



I’m writing to inform you about an upcoming event that we think will be of
great interest to your students. On *May 19th*, Future Rivers will be
hosting a *free interactive day of events* at the HUB (room 332) to
showcase how water is the cornerstone of sustainability. Water Day at UW
<https://futurerivers.uw.edu/2023/04/13/water-day-at-uw/> will be a
*multidisciplinary,
campus-wide gathering of scientists studying water in all its forms*.
Together, we’ll celebrate the work being undertaken from local to global
scales that are advancing equitable solutions to today’s most pressing
water issues.



We’d so appreciate your help in spreading the word for this event. Feel
free to forward this email directly to students, staff, faculty or
departmental listservs to let them know about this exciting opportunity.



Water Day at UW will consist of several exciting events that will take
place throughout the day, including:



*9:00 am – 11:30 am | Student Lightning Talks*

   - UW Students: Share your research at Water Day by presenting a 5-minute
   lightning talk!



*12:00 pm – 2:15 pm | Into the Okavango Film Screening*

   - From National Geographic Documentary Films, Into the Okavango
   chronicles a team of modern-day explorers on their first epic four-month,
   1,500-mile expedition across three countries to save the river system that
   feeds the Okavango Delta, one of our planet’s last wetland wildernesses.
   After the film screening, we will be hosting a Q&A with film expedition
   photographer, Mark Stone.  (Watch Into the Okavango Trailer here.
