This Month: Global Water in a Disrupted World: Perspectives from a former USAID Strategist
Join Lisa Schechtman, former Senior Strategy Advisor in USAID's Center for Water Security, Sanitation and Hygiene, for an insightful exploration of global water policy and international development. Drawing from her extensive experience at the forefront of international water security, Lisa will provide an overview of the current state of global water policy and share her reflections on what's on the horizon as we rapidly approach the deadline for the Sustainable Development Goals. Discover how international development strategies are evolving to meet today's water challenges and what this means for communities worldwide.
Each month, we invite water experts to share their innovative work in a concise 15-minute presentation, followed by refreshing networking opportunities with snacks and drinks. These gatherings are designed to create meaningful connections within our water community while providing insights into cutting-edge research and initiatives. Open to all students, faculty, and interested community members, our Watering Holes offer a perfect blend of education and social interaction in a welcoming environment.
