Education, Outreach & Diversity

 

 

iUTAH Education, Outreach, and Diversity (EOD) strived to engage a diverse group of Utah citizens with iUTAH concepts and research. Through a variety of programs and activities, iUTAH EOD partners helped participants explore water sustainability issues, and worked to enhance Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education in the state. iUTAH EOD was committed to promoting and strengthening STEM education in order to build an inclusive and diverse, water-wise, and STEM-literate workforce of tomorrow.
