Student Research Highlights from the March 3, 2023 Symposium
This annual student showcase took place as part of the spring Global Citizen Forum. The theme for the 2023 Global Citizen Forum was Social impact and responsibility.
How can students, faculty, staff and recent graduates of Drake be engaged in improving society and being active stewards for the common good? This theme aligns with University's mission to prepare students for responsible global citizenship and The Ones Campaign Every Bulldog a Changemaker initiative.
The symposium featured student presentations addressing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which provide a framework for tackling complex global pressing issues such as poverty, sustainable communities, climate action, and justice.
