Team Projects
Each year a class is divided into groups and asked to work on a project throughout the course.
It’s an important aspect of our program that puts the leadership skills we teach together with a technical problem to solve the mandatory team project. Each class has produced ideas that are amazing in their creativity as well as their practical application to real issues.

“The Water Leaders Academy was one of the best educational opportunities I have experienced. Not only did WLA expand my knowledge of water issues in Nebraska, but also expanded my network of water professionals. I use the knowledge gained from WLA frequently in my career as a water resources engineer. ”
