Shape your story at Water Wednesday on March 11

March's Water Wednesday invites participants to dive into the art and impact of telling our science stories. This interactive session will introduce the core elements of an effective narrative and explore how storytelling can deepen understanding, broaden engagement and help water research make waves beyond disciplinary boundaries.

All K-State faculty, staff and students are invited to attend this professional development opportunity. It will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, March 11. Note the room change: March's Water Wednesday will be in Hale 581. Space is limited; online registration is required.

Participants will also get an inside look at the creative tools available in the Sunderland Foundation Innovation Lab. From video and audio production to digital visualization and emerging media technologies, attendees will learn how to access and use this toolkit of resources to communicate their research stories.

“Telling a strong science story isn’t just about sharing results, it’s about building connection,” said Susan Metzger, director of the Kansas Water Institute. “This session offers a practical way to explore how audiences engage, and how creative tools can help researchers communicate with clarity and impact.”

The Kansas Water Institute hosts Water Wednesday events each month to facilitate meaningful exchanges and showcase important work across campus. The full Water Wednesday schedule is available on the Kansas Water Institute website.
