Abstract
Students in an Honors Water and Sustainability course used strengths-based appreciative interviews with business, government, and non-government leaders to uncover innovations that help to achieve the United Nations Global Goal #6: Clean Water and Sanitation. This presentation focuses on how students prepared to conduct the interviews, what innovations they discovered, and what they learned about qualitative research in the process. Reflections from the professors’ perspective about how this experience informed her teaching practice will also be discussed.

Comments
This course will be offered during the Fall term 2018. I am hoping that a few students can join me in presenting their own perspectives about how the use of appreciative inquiry informed their learning of qualitative research methods.
