WaterMatch Makers University Meet-Up Guide Once you have completed the first steps of being a University WaterMatch Maker (registered, added site locations, contacted local WWTPs to fill out facility profiles, and reported on your progress on the WaterMatch Makers webpage and through social media), you may choose to hold a University Meet-Up to share your efforts, discuss WaterMatch, and build general awareness about water issues and campus conservation and preservation efforts. We have provided a number of items to help you put together the event and presentation, but it will also require efforts by the WaterMatch Makers to find a location to hold the event, do some research and customize the presentation based on local issues and efforts, and promote the event on campus and in the community. Presentation: You may use the provided Water Awareness Presentation PowerPoint template to start developing your presentation. Includes short YouTube video “Downstream.” There are other YouTube videos in the YouTube WaterMatch Channel. Includes areas for you to add custom information on: Experience as WaterMatch Maker Information about facilities you visited/added to the map Local water resources, issues, infrastructure projects Campus conservation or other local water programs Talk with your facilities or sustainability team to learn more about what your campus is already doing Don’t have any water programs in place? Use this as an opportunity to start a discussion with facilities and network with other universities to develop one! Check out 101 Ways to Conserve Water in College for ideas. A call to action for students and staff on how they can change their behaviors to be a part of the solution Promotion: Customize the templates on the next slides, or create your own, to create fliers to share and post on campus, social media, etc. Get other sustainability groups together, share with environment and engineering professors, etc. Use the cards at events like Earth Day or others to build awareness of WaterMatch. Share: Share your final presentation, photos and ideas that came out of the event, and more on your WaterMatch Makers profile and on your university and WaterMatch social media channels.
