Native American Student and Community Center
710 SW Jackson St, Portland, OR 9720
This is an annual event hosted by students for students who are interested in environmental science to come together and either share their research, or learn about the diverse array of environment-related research projects happening at PSU, OSU and UO through a lightning talk session and oral presentations.
The joint conference invites all students from PSU, OSU, UO and will be open to the public. The goal of the event is to help foster a broader involvement in and dissemination of environmental science on campus and in Portland. We hope to further expand our audience and enrich the experience for students by hosting a keynote speaker, Dr. J. Drew Lanham from Clemson University. Dr. Lanham will be speaking about his research on songbird ecology, as well as the African-American role in natural-resources conservation.
This event is free of admission and will be catered by Chipotle! Proof of vaccination required upon entry.
