The Nelson Institute is hosting a student research symposium on Friday, March 8th, as part of the 2024 Global Citizenship Forum.
The symposium will feature 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.
From 12:30pm-1:30pm in Collier-Scripps 335, in conjunction with the presentations at the symposium, there will be a 12-textile gallery composed of works from a Drake J-term class led by Prof. Emily Newman.
