We will discuss how to look at courses and their content in order to identify connections with relevant local water issues and their connection to water themes at the global level.  We will look at how to identify connections with local community groups who are concerned about water resources, and local institutions that can serve as a resource for the implementation of water topics in the classroom.  These initiatives can be a vehicle for introducing academic service learning into the curriculum.  We will discuss these strategies and present what we have done at Eastern Michigan University in these areas.
