  • Any professor or faculty member may sponsor promising upper-division undergraduate or master’s degree students to the InFLOW STEMpath Program. 
  • The adviser also helps acquaint applicants with information about WEF student chapters (if you have one), the water industry, opportunities on campus related to this, and assist with ensuring you have time off to fully participate in the program.
