This event will bring together MEAS undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, faculty, staff, and alumni to connect across disciplines through an all-day, in-person event held at the McKimmon Center. Join us for an opportunity to learn and share ongoing research, course developments, and extracurricular activities, and highlight diverse career paths.

Highlights of the program include:

  • Keynote speaker Blake Schaeffer (MEAS Alumnus, EPA)
  • Alumni career panel 
  • Beyond Boundaries talks, posters, and demos
  • Tools-of-the-trade “petting zoo” – Experience a volcano in VR, test the “windspeed” and composition of your breath with atmospheric instrumentation, dive into a microscopic aquatic world with a plankton flow-cam, and be dazzled by the kaleidoscopic colors of rocks under a polarizing microscope!
  • Trivia hosted by the GSA
  • Light breakfast, catered lunch, and refreshments
