Recently I posted on this event. The date is now firm and the final agenda is now available:

I will be serving as a panelist.
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.
USAID and State Department officials will be in attendance. Some Members of Congress may be present as well.
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. All four organizations deserve our gratitude for arranging this.
In brief, we’re trying to get universities’ “feet in the door” when it comes to WASH development work.
Hope to see you there.
