This is one of those ’save the date’ notices. I will post more information when I receive it.
[Disclosure notice: I am part of this initiative and will be a presenter]
Capitol Hill Briefing on new University WASH Initiative
Prominent university and college leaders working on international water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) issues will participate in a congressional briefing on a new University WASH Initiative from 2:00-4:00 p.m. on March 3, 2010, in Room SVC 203/202 of the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center. Presentations will feature the variety of ways in which U.S. colleges and universities are already addressing the global WASH crisis and will highlight how their role can be enhanced, especially through a new informal WASH collaboration among American institutions of higher education. The presentations and briefing are open to Members of Congress, Congressional staff, and interested members of the public.
To RSVP, email name and contact information to universities.wash.rsvp@gmail.com
The Center for Strategic and International Studies and Water Advocates are co-sponsoring this event. Colorado State University and Emory University are the academic leads.
We owe a great deal to the aforementioned organizations for providing the impetus. Some of us have been waiting for this initiative for years.
Hope to see you there!
