Watershed Summit

The Watershed Summit, or “Shed” as it is affectionately known, began in 2016 and has become a Colorado tradition for water industry leaders and community members. Each June stakeholders gather to discuss current and future water challenges and opportunities facing the state. The Watershed Summit is a fully in-person, half-day event at Denver Botanic Gardens, concluding with an ever-popular happy hour. Since 2024, the Watershed Summit has partnered with Denver’s One Water Leaders to host a morning “One Water Day” that focuses on one water planning, objectives, resources, and action.

The Watershed Summit is produced through a collaborative partnership between the One World One Water Center (a joint initiative of Metropolitan State University of Denver and Denver Botanic Gardens), Aurora Water, the Colorado Water Conservation Board, Denver Water, and Resource Central.

 

Study abroad program in Rome and Perugia

Study In Italy FlyerOWOW offers an annual study abroad program to Italy with our partner university, Università per Stranieri di Perugia. In less than two weeks, students can earn three elective credits through this class taught partly in Rome and partly in Perugia, a picturesque Umbrian town approximately two hours northeast of Italy’s capital.

Open to undergraduate students (from MSU Denver or other universities) as well as non-degree-seeking participants, the course explores Italy’s water history from the aqueducts to the present day. A focus is on Italy’s agricultural (and wine!) heritage, building, and celebrating links between Italy and Colorado.
