IDEAL Project

Introduction:
The University of California–Irvine requests support for a timely and innovative initiative to promote the education, training, and career placement of underrepresented groups in California’s water sector. Intended as a program that can be replicated in other universities, the goal of Inclusive, Diverse, Equitable, and Able Leaders for Water — is to enable greater diversity and inclusiveness in what is arguably the state’s most important resource sector — one that is becoming increasingly threatened by climate change and growing demands, yet is critical to our economy, jobs, environment, and quality of life.

Our 2024 IDEAL Workshop and Survey Report is finally out!
