Everywhere, All the Time
IIHR's outreach program is known for being "everywhere, all the time." Our program is dedicated to public service and sharing our applied research broadly to develop solutions to real-world problems.
Our team regularly engages in outreach events, from hosting FIRST LEGO League teams to inspire the next generation of engineers to attending city council meetings to offer technical support to address local water resource concerns—we do it all!
