(Winter Break)
Upcoming OSU Water Events
Monday, December 20, 4-5 pm, Richardson 107 - All-Campus Water Faculty Meeting - All OSU water faculty are encouraged to attend an important 1-hr meeting where the IWW Director and staff will update faculty and researchers on the new Indirect Cost recovery model for IWW-assisted grants. PIs using IWW’s grant assistance service now have the opportunity of some indirect cost return. Come and hear about this new model and how you can benefit from our service. We’ll serve eggnog and cookies and also seek your feedback on IWW’s other new efforts with communications (including the weekly H2OSU) and the new Collaboratory isotope facilities.

Kudos and Accomplishments
Racquel Rancier, Graduate Legislative Intern with the Oregon Legislature
Racquel Rancier, a student advised by Aaron Wolf in the Water Resources Policy and Management Program, was selected to be a Graduate Legislative Intern with the Oregon State Legislature. This is a great honor and also a testament to her preparation and ability to communicate with her colleagues, the lay public and legislators. We are proud of you Raquel!
