In February 2025, undergraduate interns Ella Lewis and Adeline Muras accompanied VWRRC Director Kevin McGuire and Associate Director Daniel McLaughlin to Washington, DC for the 2025 National Institutes for Water Resources (NIWR) Annual Meeting.
The meeting provided valuable opportunities for networking with colleagues from other water centers, sharing updates on recent initiatives, and participating in regional group discussions. A highlight of the meeting was the advocacy work on Capitol Hill, where the team met with congressional staffers to discuss water resource priorities and research, and the Water Resources Research Act program.
