ESE Symposium
Ecological Sciences and Engineering
Our 20th annual student-led Ecological Sciences and Engineering (ESE) Symposium will be held in fall of 2026. Below you’ll find information from our fall 2025 Symposium. Check back soon for more information for the upcoming event!

We are excited to announce our 19th annual student-led ESE Symposium with the theme of “Ripple: Act Locally, Inspire Globally.” ESE is an interdisciplinary program that values the contributions of multiple perspectives and prioritizes collaboration that transcends academic, community, and disciplinary boundaries.
In support of this mission, the 2024 ESE Cohort has designed the 2025 ESE Symposium to showcase interdisciplinary and community engaged work. Our two-day event will focus on tangible skills building and local action, sparking a ripple of climate optimism within and beyond the Purdue community. Our schedule below features a graphical abstract workshop with a lunch and learn, a creative works exhibit, trivia night, and local volunteer event.
Open to the entire Purdue University, the Greater Lafayette community, and beyond, we invite students, faculty, staff, and the public to join us in celebrating community, collaboration, and action.
