Registration includes access to all sessions, complimentary breakfast spreads both days and a boxed lunch by Big City Bread on Friday. Registration costs $40 for regular attendees, $10 for students and $120 for attorneys seeking CLE credit.
Day One:
The first-day focus will be on advancing equity in water policy. The program features a dynamic slate of speakers from outside and within UGA, a presentation by Fowler and a panel on how different entities navigate the ethics of advocacy.

Day Two:
The second, highly interactive half-day of the meeting will be a discussion of alternative models for integrative, applied learning that build on the legacy of Laurie Fowler’s impactful Environmental Practicum course. Participants will have the opportunity to offer input on the future of the course.
