This issue of the Virginia Water Central Newsletter features several exciting updates on our recent activities involving student training, a key component of the mission of the Virginia Water Resources Research Center. We offer training opportunities to both undergraduate and graduate students through internships, research assistantships, and seed grants for research projects. The Water Center also coordinates Virginia Tech’s undergraduate minor in watershed management and a graduate certificate program in watershed management. Developing the human resource to manage our water resources sustainably is essential to our future. The Virginia Water Resources Research Center is proud to help promote this development at Virginia Tech and other universities throughout the Commonwealth. We look forward to continued growth of our water education mission to help meet the needs of our water students, our society, and the planet.
