  • ENSC 508 is no longer required and the website has been updated. You are welcome to attend the joint campus conference and we will share information as soon as we receive it, but it is no longer required to take the credit. With many Ecampus students, it’s not feasible. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding this change.

When or if you have completed the CITI Responsible Conduct for Research certificate to fulfill the ethics requirement, please send a copy of the certificate to esgp@oregonstate.edu (unless you’ve taken GRAD 520 or another ethics course).

If you will not be registering for classes during Fall, Winter or Spring terms, you will need to complete a Leave of Absence form, approved and signed by your major professor and the program director, and submitted to the Graduate School for approval.

2022 Joint Campus Conference and Environmental Sciences Research Colloquium

2022 Joint Campus Conference and Environmental Science Research Colloquium 

The 2022 Research Colloquium hosted by the Association of Environmental Science Students with keynote speaker Dr. J. Drew Lanham
 

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 will be held in the Native American Student and Community Center on Portland State University campus and catered by Chipotle.

 

Proof of coid-19 vaccination and valid ID will be required for non-Portland State University students
