One World One Water 2026

One World One Water Center
The One World One Water Center was the first interdisciplinary water center at a university in the entire world. Your gift to the OWOW Center will support our mission to allow MSU Denver's unique and diverse student body - and active community learners - to engage with water education, explore nature and develop their own personal connection with the environment. At the OWOW Center, we believe water is inherently interdisciplinary, intersectional and multidimensional. So, water education should be too.

Your Support
Your support of the One World One Water Center helps students on and beyond Auraria Campus engage with multiple water studies academic programs, dedicated faculty experts, networking and career opportunities, study abroad trips, annual events like the Watershed Summit and so much more.

In particular, this year your support will help secure the future of the Colorado Water Fellows Program at MSU Denver. This program is designed to prepare the next generation of water leaders from historically excluded and marginalized communities for careers in the water field. The program provides career opportunities, including attendance at water conferences, field trips and monthly meetings that delve into critical topics such as water law, water equity and justice, water careers, Tribal perspectives and one water approaches that include graywater, stormwater,and recycled water.
