As population continues to grow and demands for resources increase, understanding the nexus of Food-Energy-Water Systems is vital to ensure the reliability and equity of access to these crucial resources. The Interdisciplinary Training, Education and Research in Food-Energy-Water Systems (InTERFEWS) Program brings together PhD students from traditionally disparate disciplines to conduct research on key problems in the FEW nexus with a focus on water-scarce, arid regions. Learn more: https://erams.com/interfews/

Experiential Education

Extension Internship

All colleges at Colorado State University work with the Office of Engagement and Extension to support an annual 10 week summer internship program. These paid positions combine research, program delivery and dissemination efforts with hands on learning at the local/county level. Learn more on the program website:
