Water Wednesdays
Making connections, one event at a time.
Each month, faculty and staff from every college, department and unit are invited to get together to learn about a new aspect of our work to solve difficult water resource challenges. These informal gatherings give everyone a chance to meet someone outside of their normal departmental groups, and to discuss new and exciting ideas about interdisciplinary research. Water Wednesdays are an excellent opportunity to pitch a new project and connect with colleagues.
Unless specified, Water Wednesday events are held in Hale Library, Room 181.
September 9, 2026 (meet in Hale 581): We will be introducing the full cohort of Kansas Water Institute Faculty Scholars who will focus on interdisciplinary water-related research. This event is designed to foster networking and collaboration, offering opportunities for teaching, grant proposals, and other professional engagements.

There is no Water Wednesday during November. Instead, join us at the Governor's Conference on the Future of Water in Kansas on November 9-10 in Manhattan, KS. That same week, K-State will host the 2026 Heartland AI Symposium with a planned roundtable session about water resources.
