Location: HMEI, Briger Hall, 11 Ivy Lane, 2nd Floor Atrium

The 18th Annual Summer of Learning Symposium celebrates the 100+ Princeton undergraduates who participated in HMEI’s environmental internship program in summer 2025. They worked in labs across campus and at sites around the world, conducting hand-on research with University faculty, researchers from other scientific enterprises, government agencies, and not-for-profit organizations on projects focused on pressing environmental challenges. The symposium provides an interactive forum for students to recognize and celebrate each other’s work and contributions, exchange perspectives, develop a shared mission, and consider practical, achievable paths toward a healthier and more sustainable planet.

Join us all day or drop in anytime. Open to the campus community. Lunch will be available from 11:30am to 1:30pm.

For questions regarding the symposium, please contact Emily Ahmetaj.
