Notre Dame undergraduate and graduate students are invited to attend this year’s virtual Notre Dame Sustainability Expo to explore career opportunities in the areas of energy, the environment, and sustainability studies. Several groups and local and national organizations and businesses will participate in live panel discussions over two evenings, October 6 and October 7, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. (EDT) with time at the end of each session for questions and answers. Panelists will focus their comments on the following opportunities:
- Academic Programs
- Experiential Learning Programs
- Service Learning Programs
- Field, Laboratory, and Analytical Research Projects
- Internships
- Job Openings
Students may attend as much of the Expo as their schedules will allow. Registration is required by October 5. Registrants will be notified of any changes to the schedule and will receive a reminder with the Zoom link to join on the day of the event.
Additionally, there will be several Exhibit Booths for students to browse through that will include contact information and further details from speakers, as well as information from other groups and organizations who were unable to participate this year. These booths will be available online during and after the Expo for a limited time. The link to access this information will be announced at the beginning of each session during the Expo.
