Water Resources Party and Canoe Naming Contest

On Friday, October 9, the Association of Water Professionals at UNM will be hosting a Water Resources Party at Bruce Thomson's house. All students, faculty, and friends of the Water Resources program are invited.

This will be a good opportunity for new, old, current students to meet and mingle with each other along with WRP faculty and friends.

We will also be having a canoe-naming contest for the new AWP canoe. Anyone is invited to submit a name that will be voted on at the party.

WRP hats, t-shirts, and other items will be on sale so bring your cash so you can show off your WRP gear!

For more information or if there are any questions, you can send an email to awp@unm.edu.

Water Resources Student Orientation Tonight

From Bruce Thomson:

We will have an orientation meeting for Water Resources grad students this evening, 4/20, at 4:30 pm in Anderson School of Management room 1004. There are two groups of students who are strongly encouraged to come:

• New students who need to learn about the program, our curriculum, and its administration.
• Students planning to graduate in the next year who have forgotten all of the information presented in their own orientation that is absolutely essential for successful graduation. Remember, UNM shows no mercy for missed deadlines and uncompleted forms.

Rocky Mountain Young Professionals Networking Happy Hour

There will be a happy hour for young professionals in the water and wastewater industries during the 2009 Rocky Mountain Section of the American Water Works Association and Rocky Mountain Water Environment Association Joint Annual Conference. It is a great opportunity to network with other water students and potential employers.

• When: Monday, September 14, 5:00 pm
• Where: Maloney's Tavern, 325 Central Ave. NW

RSVP to Jason at jmontoya@brwncald.com or 575-649-6685 by September 4.
