In co-operation with the Students of the Water Institute Graduate Section (SWIGS), an instrumentation group has been formed on Facebook for users of chromatography and mass spectrometry instruments (named the 'UW LC/IC/GC-MS Users' group). This is an excellent resource for users of these instruments that want to ask other students about their troubles or offer advice to less experienced students.

Before many students left for field research over the summer, we organized a rock-climbing event at Grand River Rocks which was a great success! Several are now regular climbers! Over the summer, we hosted a water fight with reusable sponges in front of the Grad House to get students thinking about water availability and use. Students were later challenged to some water trivia for great prizes!
