On Wednesday night, over 100 students and staff gathered in Burke Auditorium to listen to fifteen 2nd year YSE students speak about the ENV006 requirement. Presenters spoke about the scope and deliverables of their summer research, internships and projects, funding strategies, and post-graduation plans. Each presentation included top take-aways to help 1st year students be intentional and strategic in crafting their own 2026 summer experiences.
YSE students spent the last hour of the event networking with presenters over dinner. The night was truly great, and the food was delicious!
