Ecological Sciences & Engineering Symposium
“Keeping the world green: an interdisciplinary approach to sustainability" November 9, Purdue University - Proceedings
In the spirit of unifying environmental interests at Purdue, the Ecological Sciences & Engineering Graduate program, coordinated by Center for the Environment at Purdue (C4E), will host an ecological integration symposium. The main objective of this symposium is to stimulate interest and discussion in the Purdue Community about the various interdisciplinary aspects of a central environmental topic. It will provide an opportunity for graduate students to present their research, interact with experts in various environmental fields, and raise awareness about the ESE program and other environmentally focused initiatives at Purdue.
The symposium is an interdisciplinary event, which is student run and organized by a committee composed of ESE graduate students as well as other students across the Purdue campus. The committee has identified this year’s theme as “Keeping the world green: an interdisciplinary approach to sustainability”. The tentative schedule includes four distinguished speakers, a luncheon, a student poster presentation competition, and a workshop regarding responsible eco-consumers.

Center for the Environment at Discovery Park
The ESE Graduate Program is directed by the Center for the Environment (C4E), one of ten centers at Discovery Park, Purdue University. Protecting environmental integrity is essential to prosperity and quality of life. To protect and enhance environmental integrity, C4E and its more than 130 associated faculty members focus on innovative multi-disciplinary research and education projects. Graduate students are an integral part of these research teams.
Discovery Park was established at Purdue University to create a combinational power greater than any individual strength, and to serve as a catalyst for drawing faculty, staff, and students to reach into other disciplines and projects in order to take Purdue to the cutting edge of academic work.
