Â鶹¾«Ñ¡ will host its Environmental Science and Design Symposium on March 20 and 21 at the Kent Student Center. The annual conference — previously known as the Water and Land Symposium — will mark its sixth year in 2019, while its new title demonstrates the first major event led by the University’s newly-formed research initiative of the same name.

The Environmental Science and Design Research Initiative, formed in 2018, unites Â鶹¾«Ñ¡faculty from several colleges and disciplines, whose research focuses on natural and built environments and interactions between the two. These include researchers in ecology, biology, hydrology, geology, and geography, as well as those in architecture and environmental design, and fashion merchandising.
