The Colorado Water Fellows at the OWOW Center is a branch of the Colorado Water Center Water Fellows Program. The Water Fellows Program is expanding, with programs beginning across the state. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the Water Fellows program will be held at Metropolitan State University of Denver, University of Denver, Colorado State University, University of Colorado Boulder, Colorado Mesa University, and Fort Lewis College.
