Updates
April 4, 2017 - Thank you to everyone who attended, supported, and participated in our symposium! We had a fantastic line-up of speakers from academia and industry, with technical presentations ranging from how water contaminants can be detected to methods for treating water. Concluding our symposium was a panel that addresses pressing questions regarding water sustainability. We are pleased with the success of our symposium and are extremely grateful to have had such enthusiastic and engaging speakers (a few are pictured above) as well as generous support from many sponsors. We wish the best of luck to future GSSPC symposia teams, especially the Spring 2018 team from the University of Florida!
