2017 Student Projects
In 2017, students in the Urban Ecology Engagement Initiative (UEEI) conducted independent research projects. They presented their findings at a symposium held at the S. Dillon Ripley Center in Washington, D.C. which was attended by more than 130 students, family members, teachers, and science professionals! We are so proud of what the students accomplished, and you can check out their findings by clicking on each presentation below.
