Learn, earn and maybe win at Great Miami U!

At most universities you pay to learn. At Great Miami U, we’ll pay you (if we pick your name in a drawing of all our graduates). Earning your degree from Great Miami U is free and easy. And better yet, it only takes a few minutes!

The Miami Conservancy District (MCD) is launching the Great Miami Watershed University, or Great Miami U, today as part of the national Value Water campaign to raise awareness about the importance of water and the often invisible water challenges facing our country.

We’re fortunate in this region to have plenty of water. You turn on the faucet and water comes out. It’s hard not to take water for granted when it’s always there for us. But how much do you really know about the region’s water? We’ve got the basics ready for you in a new and fun way to learn.

You can earn your diploma in three easy steps.

1. Click here to get started.
2. Watch four 2-minute videos about water.
3. Take a 4-question exam to test your knowledge.

You will then be registered to win a $100 gift card to the local brewery or coffee shop of our choice. We’ll even email you a diploma to print.

EARN A BONUS CHANCE TO WIN – Take a photo of yourself with your diploma and post to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #GreatMiamiU and we’ll enter you a second time.
