Water Professionals Student Chapter
Welcome water enthusiasts!
The Water Professionals student chapter at the University of Kentucky holds meetings and events throughout the academic year for the combined AWWA/WEA student chapter and the EWRI student chapter. If you are interested in the fields of sustainability and water resources engineering, a career in the water or wastewater industries, the water resources profession or environmental engineering and related professions, the student chapter could be a great opportunity to meet other students and local water professionals.
