ESE Symposium
This was our 18th annual student led Ecological Sciences and Engineering (ESE) Symposium with the latest year’s theme being "The Future of WATERS." The 2024 symposium, created by the 2023 ESE Cohort, which explored six critical themes around water: Wellbeing, Access, Technology, Ecological Impacts, Resilience, and Sustainability, addressing issues such as water quality, security, policy, and access. It featured a transdisciplinary panel discussion, a keynote dialogue and book signing with New York bookseller Dan Egan, and a poster competition, this two-day event aimed 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 annually in exploring these critical issues.
Thank you go everyone who make our latest Symposium a success! We could not have done it without our generous sponsors. Please check back in early summer for the 2025 symposium information.
