AU Water Affiliates
Back to Water Resources Center /
AU Water Affiliates consist of faculty and staff actively engaged in the water resources field. As part of this network, affiliates have the opportunity to collaborate with the Auburn University Water Resources Center (AUWRC) on a variety of initiatives including: partnering on grant proposals, promoting events, and accessing exclusive workshops and training sessions. Affiliates also benefit from early information on funding opportunities, collaborative research support, and participation in networking events designed to foster interdisciplinary connections and professional growth.
Email wrc@auburn.edu if you are interested in becoming an Affiliate Member.
