" "Being a Millennium Fellow will help me continue my life's goal of leveraging technology to solve public health and environmental issues. As part of my team, I am able to get the importance of clean water and water quality notification to a much larger audience. Clean drinking water does not only affect individuals’ health, but also areas like education, food security, and environmental health. Freedom from water-borne illnesses is fundamental to every person thriving and living up to their potential. With the help of the Millennium Fellowship, Sustainable Development Goal 6 can come closer to being a reality." "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Right-to-Know H2O '24
All of the Right-to-Know H2O ’24 team members are applying for Millennium Fellowships with this agreed upon mission: to build on the work of the 2023 Right-to-Know H2O team, but with the objective of instilling in colleges and universities the same fundamental principle implied in SDG 6 – the right to safe drinking water requires the right-to-know water is safe, including on our campuses. The world’s 25,000-plus higher education institutions have an estimated 270 million water
consumers. The combined population of these students, faculty and staff would place it fourth among the world’s most populous nations. Our goal is to leverage technology to create a model that other campuses can emulate. We launched a Pace Pleasantville campus awareness campaign, namely by planning a water quality summit with local officials and dispersing a campus water quality survey. Through theMillennium Fellowship network, we will then provide other campuses with tools to institute similar practices.
About the Millennium Fellow
Isabella Coraci is a senior computer information systems major at Pace University in Pleasantville, New York. Outside of technology, she is also interested in environmental health. Pace’s Blue CoLab team has given her experience with the intersection of those two areas. She has learned that as time goes on, the issues of clean energy, clean water, and cybersecurity threats to critical infrastructure are all of increasing concern, which she would like to explore further in the future with the Fellows and beyond.
