The goal of the student conference is to bring together students from colleges and universities across the Midwest to discuss important problems students are facing regarding environmental issues at their respective campuses. The conference seeks to not only facilitate relationship building across campuses, but also to collaboratively work on action items that demonstrate collective support and solidarity for different policies, initiatives, or movements students are working on.
The 2024 Student Conference will take place in-person in Indianapolis on April 3 – 5, 2024.
