Networking Lunch
Catered lunch with IU faculty, environmental experts, and YEPT leaders. Built for unstructured conversation across tables.
The networking lunch sits in the middle of the conference day and is one of the most valuable hours on the schedule. Tables are organized by topic, so students can sit down with a faculty member, environmental professional, or YEPT leader whose work matches their interest.
Lunch is catered and provided at no cost to all attendees. No sign-up is required, and students are encouraged to move between tables throughout the hour.
