Thanks to everyone who attended ESDRI events this academic year! Check back as we begin to post events for Fall 2023.
The majority of our events are open to the public. However, a few events have limited space and are reserved for current fellows or students interested in becoming a fellow. You may RSVP by emailing esdri@kent.edu.

Throughout the year, the institute hosts a variety of academic and community activities. These events include:
-
workshops where you learn to build an important skill (e.g. getting published) or work in software (e.g. Google Earth Engine);
-
guest speakers that are motivational and offer professional advice;
-
tours of active laboratories, green roofs, professional agencies and property in the area;
-
fundraisers to support our fellows and their research
-
service projects, such as tree planting and bioblitzes;
-
informal meet-ups where fellows catch up on what everyone is doing and discuss what programming they would like for the semester ahead;
-
our annual symposium that draws a huge crowd to downtown Kent, OH.
