May 31, 2023
Please join for our meet-and-greet for grad students and faculty at OSU interested in Environmental Arts and Humanities. All disciplines are welcome! We will be having a vegetarian (street tacos) lunch in MU 208, timed to coincide with our annual regional graduate student conference on May 31. We hope you’ll join us for the lunch part, and (I hope!) also attend some of the sessions. I’m still working on the program but there will be morning and afternoon presentations.
Interested in displaying your work during the conference? The lunch is also an informal “poster session” time, which can display your research or creative work (including art). You don’t need to be a presenter in order to display a poster or art. Respond to the survey below to RSVP!!
Morning sessions: 830-12pm
Lunch: 12pm-1pm meet-and-greet
Afternoon sessions: 1pm-350pm
Keynote: 4pm: “Secret Lives of Glaciers” with M Jackson.
