World Water Day 2022 will be celebrated virtually at Michigan Tech March 17 to 22, 2022. World Water Day (WWD) has been celebrated annually at Michigan Tech since 2007. On March 22 KBIC Tribal Water Day will be observed and Michigan Tech World Water Day speakers will present talks. An art show and other virtual student engagement activities are also scheduled. World Water Day is sponsored by the United Nations. This year’s theme is “Groundwater – Making the invisible visible.”
This year’s events also include a student Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition. Cash prizes will be awarded for (1) original student research; and (2) course-based research. Prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place will be awarded in both categories.
