The Institute for Watershed Studies (IWS) supports a wide variety of
interdisciplinary projects that provide exciting opportunities for students to
engage in relevant watershed research and make important contributions to the
community. One example of this is the Northwest Lakes monitoring project, a
community service project that provides water quality data and other
information for 60-70 lakes in our region. This project was instrumental in
Western Washington University being awarded the National President’s Higher
Education Community Service Honor Roll with Distinction Award in 2013 and
2015. Your donation to the Western Washington University Foundation Institute
for Watershed Studies Fund will help ensure the continued success of this and
other student projects that benefit our local community.
