Sustainability Research at Inquiry Poster Session
On Tuesday, May 9th, the Grants and Research Office hosted their semesterly Inquiry at UST poster session for undergraduate students to share their research with the St. Thomas community. The Office of Sustainability Initiatives would like to celebrate five students whose projects addressed specific environmental issues facing us today. These projects were identified as “Green Research” by the Office of Sustainability Initiatives because they focus on environmental sustainability through varied interdisciplinary lenses on a local or global scale.
