These are unique opportunities for undergraduates to work closely with water-related faculty mentors and graduate students in their major discipline. There will be professional development and cross-campus programming, concluding with the chance for students to present results of their individual projects in a group setting.
Descriptions of each available project are posted on the FreshWater@UW project page. Applicants will be asked to identify their top five project preferences on the SROP application.
In-state undergraduate applicants are encouraged to select opportunities that are not on their home campus. Participating campuses for 2023 include Eau Claire, Green Bay, La Crosse, Madison, Manitowoc-Green Bay, Milwaukee, Oshkosh and Superior.
The 2023 freshwater science experiences are funded by the UW Water Resources Institute, the Wisconsin Sea Grant College Program and the Freshwater Collaborative of Wisconsin.
