from various water management-related disciplines will be recruited every year. Diversity and inclusion are central to our mission and pursuit of excellence. As EEO employers, our institutions provide equal opportunities in employment and programming, including
Title VI, Title IX and ADA requirements. The team has taken steps to support an equitable application process, such as anonymizing applications before review.
