Greetings!
The Urban Water Innovation Network (UWIN) is pleased to offer its second *Undergraduate Research Program* (URP) for the summer of 2017. Students with different research interests in urban water sustainability - social sciences, natural sciences, engineering - will be placed with a team of mentors at institutions in urban areas across the nation. See: https://erams.com/UWIN /urp/ Your help in sharing this information with students interested in doing independent research in our unique setting would be very much appreciated. Program details follow. Thank you.
