This program focuses on enhancing undergraduate STEM performance and peer mentoring, strengthening the enduring partnership between Smith & Loveless and the School, which has thrived for nearly six decades.

Smith & Loveless has a storied history of collaboration with the University of Kansas School of Engineering, contributing to the development of innovative environmental solutions that have propelled advancements in the water industry.
