Our team of scientists and educators at CONSERVE are facilitating the adoption of transformative on‐farm water treatment solutions that can enable the safe use of nontraditional irrigation water (e.g., advanced treated wastewater, return flows) on food crops. At the same time, our DAWN team is developing a decision support system that helps to increase land, nutrient, and water use efficiency in order to maximize crop production in maize, soy, and bioenergy fields. Our vision is to be a collective national resource bringing together research, outreach, and education to effectively reduce the nation’s food, energy and water challenges that are exacerbated by climate change. With projects located throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest, we are looking for undergraduate student summer interns to assist us in our research, extension and education efforts. We seek undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing higher degrees in the fields of agricultural and natural sciences, w
