What fellows have to say about past seminars: "This was a great fellowship. The content and organization was outstanding. The presentations brought in most of the decision-makers and stakeholders in the Colorado River allocation issue and gave solid classes in the underlying issues such as law, politics, economics and natural factors affecting the availability of water."
