The U of M Water Network Water Cooler is a virtual space where anyone interested in water can socialize, meet others, and have informal, open discussions.
General Water Coolers have no set topic or agenda. Network members receive calendar invites with links for participation. Drop in to meet some new colleagues!
Topical Water Coolers have a pre-set discussion focus, chosen by you, the members of the U of M Water Network. Perhaps you want to get some feedback on an idea, hear more points of view on a water issue, or expand your network. To create a Topical Water Cooler, send an email with the topic that you have in mind and the day/time slot you want it scheduled. We will help you advertise your water cooler and we encourage you to also advertise through any other channels you wish.
