Deborah Martinez, Executive Director of the IUVA says, "The IUVA presents educational seminars for STEM students to discover the ever evolving options becoming available in their respective fields."

Another IUVA educational initiative is a recent partnership with http://www.MentorNet.net, a national organization that matches mentors to students. "My vision is to build a program with them that emphasizes UV technologies and its applications in water and wastewater disinfection, cleaning air and water for aquatics. These are exciting, well-paying jobs that utilize cutting edge technology, with even more possibilities opening in the future," said Martinez.
IUVA's mission is to advance the science, engineering and applications of ultraviolet technologies to enhance the quality of human life and to protect the environment. Founded in 1999, it is a 501(c)3 educational association of more than 500 members in 35 countries.
