Pace University Pleasantville | Pleasantville, United States | Advancing SDG 6 & UNAI 6, UNAI 9

" I am deeply passionate about the right to access clean water and the human right to know what’s in our water. I believe that access to safe drinking water is fundamental to human health. With the right technology, awareness, and resources, we can empower communities to make informed decisions about the water they consume. I am where I am today because of the dedication of those who believed in my potential and encouraged my efforts to make a difference. Now, I want to be that person for others, advocating for the importance of transparency and pushing for innovations that will ensure everyone has access to the information they need to live healthy and safe lives. "
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.
