Millennium Fellowship Project: Sustainable Water Utilization On Campus
The primary aim of our project is to promote the responsible and efficient use of water in our daily environments, from our campus to our homes, and to all the spaces where we spend our time. By engaging with university students, faculty, and the wider community, we hope to cultivate a culture of water conservation and inspire lasting change.
The first of our planned awareness events will take place in November 2024. We are organizing a panel discussion featuring esteemed academics from our university and others. These experts will explore various aspects of water efficiency, conservation practices, and the importance of mindful water usage. This event offers a unique opportunity for students to directly engage with thought leaders and gain deeper insights into sustainable practices.
About the Millennium Fellow

Sometimes he could not solve these problems, but he did his best to reach institutions that could. In this way, İrfan developed his ability to produce solutions and acquired the habit of teamwork.
