The WRRC Gives Thanks

This week there will be no Weekly Wave due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Instead, we would like to share a few of the many things we are thankful for.

We are thankful for the speakers, panelists, attendees, and sponsors that helped make our 2021 Annual Conference, Tribal Water Resilience in a Changing Environment, a captivating, informative, and moving experience.

We are thankful for the presenters who shared their knowledge at our Brown Bag Webinars, and the many participants who asked thoughtful questions and made the webinars some of the most well-attended to date.

We are thankful for the students (and former students) that provided their insights on the “Imagine a Day Without Water” Emerging Leaders Panel.

We are thankful for the urban and rural communities that worked with the WRRC to engage in meaningful dialogue and participate in informative workshops.

We are thankful for our partners and collaborators who expanded and enriched our joint efforts to engage, inform, and educate.

We are thankful for all who participated in our programs and the many individuals who worked with us.

We are thankful for all who pulled together quickly to adapt to the changes and difficulties brought by the last year and a half.

We are thankful for those who counseled us throughout the year, which includes our External Advisory Committee and our Indigenous Water Dialogues Advisors.

We are thankful to be part of an incredible community of water professionals in Arizona and beyond.

We are thankful for all the wonderful submissions to our 2020 Photo Contest. And we encourage you to submit photos to this year's contest if you haven't yet.

We are thankful for our health and for the health of those around us, and we wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving holiday!

This is just a small sampling of the many things the Water Resources Research Center is thankful for. We will continue to expand our programs, events, and outreach in the years to come.
