ESE Symposium

Join us for our 18th annual student led Ecological Sciences and Engineering (ESE) Symposium with this year’s theme being "The Future of WATERS." The 2024 symposium, created by the 2023 ESE Cohort, will explore six critical themes around water: Wellbeing, Access, Technology, Ecological Impacts, Resilience, and Sustainability, addressing issues such as water quality, security, policy, and access. Featuring transdisciplinary panel discussions, a keynote dialogue and book signing with New York bookseller Dan Egan, and a poster competition, this two-day event aims to foster open dialogue on the multifaceted challenges facing the water sector and generate innovative solutions and strategies for a sustainable water future.

Open to the entire Purdue University, the Greater Lafayette community, and beyond, we invite students, faculty, staff, and the public to join us in exploring these critical issues. These events would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors! Mark your calendars for October 2-3, 2024, we can't wait to see you there!
