Event Details
Please join us for the return of the annual Water@UW-Madison Fall Art and Poster Session & Reception, a free event featuring research, art, and activities about water in the UW-Madison community.
We know the COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult for us to gather to talk about our work so we want to highlight graduate students and new faculty to give them an opportunity to do just that! Repurposed posters and artwork from previous years highly encouraged. The goal of this event is to create a space to chat with fellow water folks about your work.
The event is free and open to the public (registration not required), and will include:
- Visual art and research posters featuring the work of students, UW faculty and water resource professionals
- Lightning talks from graduate student presenters featuring their art or research
- Refreshments and a cash bar
- Opportunities to network with people from all over the UW-Madison Water Community
