WaTER Alpha Time

Alpha Time will be holding a meeting at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday in South Campus’s Bravo Room entitled Water, Development, and Peace in Emerging Regions: Bringing Water and Sanitation to Remote Villages.
The educational meeting will encourage students to participate in WaTER Center’s groundbreaking water initiatives.
WaTER Center focuses on providing suitable water resources and exploring new sanitation technology for different regions around the globe, according to their flier. Engineer students are encouraged to participate through OU's Engineers without Borders chapter, which develops water lines in remote countries, said Robert Knox, civil engineer and environmental science academic director.
“This is an exciting time to pull together people in this nationally recognized event where water sanitation is the common interest,” said David Sabatini, civil engineer and environmental science professor.
To RSVP to this event, contact Erin Ford by noon today.
The 2009 OU International WaTER Conference will be on October 26-27, 2009 at OU’s Norman campus. The event will encourage student participants to help develop the new line of study as well as provide further information on water sanitation development.
