Dear AguaClara Reach Supporters,

As many of you may know, earlier today Cornell University published a press release regarding staffing and program changes. As a part of these changes, Cornell University, College of Engineering, School of Civil and Environmental Engineering has decided to retire the AguaClara Cornell Program effective at the beginning of the 2020 fall semester.

Over the last 15 years, Dr. Monroe Weber-Shirk and his students in the AguaClara Cornell Program have developed innovative, open-source water treatment technology. This technology was integral to the creation of AguaClara Reach, and we will continue our mission to bring this open-source technology to communities around the world that can most benefit from it.

This news does not affect any of our current project work, and I feel certain we will be able to maintain the legacy and ongoing positive impact of the AguaClara Cornell Program. If anyone is interested in joining our efforts at AguaClara Reach, feel free to contact me or our Volunteer Manager, Serena Takada.

Thanks,

Alissa Diminich

ACR Board President
