The Natural Resources and Environmental Studies Graduate Program and the Natural Resource and Environmental Studies Institute are holding a virtual Graduate Student Poster Presentation in lieu of our Friday colloquium presentation.

This event will highlight the current research being undertaken by NRES 700 Graduate Students.

Join us on Zoom to discuss with students their research projects. Students will be assigned to Breakout rooms with attendees able to move between the rooms at their leisure. To participate fully in this session you must use the Zoom App version 5.3 or greater.
