Global Sustainability Studies Academic Conference
Opening Reception – Friday, November 6, 2015, 4:00-8:00 p.m.
Conference – Saturday, November 7, 2015, 9:00-5:00 p.m.

Our research group Our research group[/caption]Arizona State University student organization Global Sustainability Network (GSN), in partnership with the Walton Global Sustainability Studies Program at ASU, are pleased to announce ASU’s first annual Global Sustainability Studies Academic Conference. This conference will provide students the opportunity to lead discussions about their research and experiences this past summer in panel discussions throughout the day. During the discussions, professors may provide feedback as to how to continue their research or adapt their solutions for a local initiative. The student presenters’ goal will be to inspire students in the audience who have not yet studied abroad, giving them direct access to talk to the students who have studied abroad. Not only will professors be available to foster growth of the projects, but the conference will conclude Saturday evening with a roundtable discussion of professors creating an open dialogue to include the impact of the program as well as the envisioned plans for the coming year’s programs.

The event will also showcase photos and videos from the scholars’ time abroad, as well as discuss the 2016 Walton Global Sustainability Studies Program courses and scholarships available through the Walton Initiatives.
