This exciting exposition will include 46 compelling posters topics that confront some of the difficult environmental issues we currently face. The posters are the result of dedicated research from group members on their topic followed by collaboration to tie the complete story of each environmental issue together. The students will be available to answer any questions you might have about their projects. The topics are diverse and will educate, inspire and challenge the audience and promote conversation about these timely environmental issues.  Some of the topics you can expect to learn about are:

There is something to interest everyone at the Environmental Expo. Our students extend an invitation to everyone. Admission is free.Don’t miss out!
