Educated, Empowered, Solution-Oriented Colorado
The One World One Water Center strives to prepare an educated, empowered, solution-oriented Colorado citizenry to protect and preserve our precious water resources. MSU Denver fulfills the mission in three ways:
- Offer an interdisciplinary, hands-on Water Studies minor for students from diverse backgrounds and in any major;
- Provide co-curricular enrichment activities to the entire student population of the Auraria Campus, which includes MSU Denver, the University of Colorado – Denver, and the Community College of Denver;
- Enhance water stewardship on and beyond campus for the effective use of water resources.
The Water Studies Minor and Certificate programs provide students with skills necessary to become more knowledgeable of Colorado’s limited water resources, and how to preserve this most precious resource.
The One World One Water Sculpture
The “One World One Water” sculpture was created by Rik Sargent, commissioned by Valerie Gates and dedicated to MSU Denver on May 2, 2012. This bronze sculpture of a single drop of water was designed to promote water education and represents the weaving together of watersheds and ecosystems. The sculpture loves visitors and is located on the lawn in front of the Student Success Building.
