ECMSS 2017!

20th Annual Environmental Chemistry and Microbiology Student Symposium

Hosted by: Penn State University Student Association of Environmental Science and Engineering

ECMSS is an annual student run symposium held at Penn State’s University Park campus, which brings together graduate students, undergraduate students, and faculty members engaged in environmentally relevant research.  This two day event typically draws 60-70 graduate and undergraduate researchers from Penn State and regional universities.  Student poster presentations and oral presentations are judged by Penn State faculty and post-docs and top presentations are awarded prizes!

ECMSS is a great opportunity to share, to learn, and to network with like-minded researchers in other disciplines.
