From the Director
Anne C. Steinemann
Welcome!
I am delighted to write to you as the Director of The Water Center, and I am excited about our future together. Since arriving, I have met scores of people who have told me what the Center means to them. Their testimonials are impressive.
Also impressive are the widespread commitments to the Center. More than 3,000 constituents—representing agencies, industries, organizations, and the public—connect with the Center. Our Annual Review of Research, featuring the latest UW science, regularly attracts more than 300 attendees. We receive financial support from more than 30 federal, state, and local agencies.
Our goal is to pursue research that will benefit society. We apply scientific studies to solve problems, educate students with practice-based research, and spark collaboration among academics, professionals, and the public.
The Center is fortunate to have many talented affiliates: faculty, students, advisory board members, and staff. You can meet them through the weblinks on the left. More affiliates will be joining soon.
Finally, I would like to thank you for your support and enthusiasm. I look forward to meeting you all and hearing from you. We will do great things together.
