The purpose of the Water Environment Federation Stanford University Student Chapter is to:
Promote graduate and undergraduate student interest in the engineering and science of the water environment.
Provide an avenue for the exchange of information and ideas through networking and mentorship between students, faculty, and members of the Water Environment Federation (WEF).
Promote academic excellence and leadership in environmental science and engineering.
The Student Chapter was founded in 1997 as the third student chapter in California. Since then, the Student Chapter has actively provided various programs to serve its members including speakers, field trips, and social activities.
The Student Chapter meets quarterly. Our meetings are usually in the evenings after classes and typically include refreshments and speaker(s) focusing on a technical, career-oriented, or a general interest topic. The quarterly meeting also introduces t he speakers, field trips, and social activities that will take place over the following three months.
The Student Chapter is a committee of the local professional section of the Santa Clara Section of the California Water Environment Association. The national organization is called the Water Environment Federation.
The WEF is a not-for-profit technical and educational organization. Its goal is to preserve and enhance the global water environment. Federation members number more than 41,000 water quality professionals from around the world, including engineers, sci entists, government officials, utility and industrial managers and operators, academics, educators and students, equipment manufacturers and distributors, and other environmental specialists.
