The Fellowship Information Tour down South is off to a great start! This past Thursday I was in Atlanta at Georgia Tech and had the pleasure of meeting some pretty amazing students. Jasdeep helped coordinate my high tech room. He is a Junior at Georgia Tech and President of the GT Water Alliance, which is a group of students that work to educate students on the global water crisis, while also working to get them involved in various efforts, like CWS’ Fellowship Program. It is so awesome to see such young people be so involved in such a pertinent issue! I am really looking forward to some GT applicants!

This afternoon I was off to University of South Carolina. It was a beautiful day for a nice cruise in my awesome wheels. Can’t miss me that’s for sure!

Next stop my alma mater… Clemson University! I can’t wait to be on my own turf with my Tigers!

CWS is getting ready to pack up and head South to hold more information sessions at universities we would love to see you there!

I could not be more excited to speak to more students about CWS! While I take the South by storm other information sessions will be taking place all over the East Coast held by other Fellow Alum. Check out where we’ll be and come out to learn more about the program and ask questions! Email me, Sam at sderrick@communitywatersolutions, if you are interested in CWS holding an information session at your school and don’t see if on the list! Be a part of this amazing experience and help us get clean drinking water to more villages in Ghana!

I kicked off the Fellowship Information Session tour at University of Maryland yesterday. Despite it being my first information session, I kept my nerves in check and had so much fun! I was able to be a part of the first day of class for Professor Coke Farmer’s Global Health class of FRESHmen. And it went great! They thought it was going to be a normal syllabus first day of class and in I cam trying to get them to step out of their comfort zone and come to Ghana—meanwhile they haven’t even gotten comfortable at school! I think it was quite the surprise for them!

The students had been assigned to watch the National Academies a “Running Dry: Call to Action” before class and so, they had a good base-level of knowledge about the global water crisis. After I presented we opened up the floor for questions and they came pouring in. I must have at least 30 questions—the students were completely engaged and I loved it. I am really looking forward to some UMD fellowship applicants!

Talking to the UMD students got me really pumped about all the information sessions to come! Next stop —ATL to meet some Georgia Tech students and I can’t wait!

Below is the National Academies “Running Dry: A Call to Action” that Professor Coke Farmer shared with me. Definitely worth a watch!
