The 2026 Summer Arroyo Internship

Through the generosity of Gene Sander and Louise Canfield-Sander, the WRRC is offering a Summer 2026 internship for the development of the 2027 Arroyo. The intern will contribute to the creation of an issue of the Arroyo, the annual WRRC publication that focuses on a critical Arizona water issue. This internship provides an opportunity to gain experience researching and writing about water issues. Eugene G. Sander served for many years as Vice Provost and Dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (renamed the College of Agriculture, Life and Environmental Sciences in 2023) and held the title of the 20th University of Arizona President from 2011 to 2012. Louise M. Canfield-Sander, Professor Emerita (Biochemistry) focused her work on improving health outcomes for underserved populations, particularly Indigenous peoples of Central America and the US Southwest. This internship anticipates that the intern will work the equivalent of 20 hours per week for 12 weeks over the summer and offers a stipend of $5,000 to be deposited to the intern’s bursar’s account. The Arroyo is an accessible summary of current information on a single water topic of interest for Arizona and the region, chosen each year in connection with WRRC’s annual conference. Our 2026 conference theme is Water for Tech, Mining & Energy: Pathways to Arizona's Future. Information on the WRRC Summer Arroyo Internship can be found at the link below, along with the application form and instructions.
