Student Sub-Committee Description

The Student Chapter Committee has been established with the goals of encouraging students in the "learning" phase of water quality and to ensure students attain information and data, which are both current and relevant to their studies. The committee seeks out new schools to start up student chapters and encourages and provides continued support to established student chapters; Illinois Institute of Technology, Northwestern University and University of Illinois. The IWEA Student Chapter Committee is a joint committee with the Illinois Section of the American Water Works Association. Through participation, students receive:

• Resources to establish themselves in the water quality field
• Meeting and interacting with professionals in the industry
