Every spring, AISES College Chapters scattered across the U.S. and Canada hold seven regional conferences where participants champion each other in their respective academic and professional endeavors. Each chapter hosts unique workshops and sessions designed to generation enthusiasm for – and success – in STEM education and careers.
These gatherings not only serve to furnish the latest information on chapter activities in region, they also highlight meetings, programs and events. Regional Conferences are the perfect venue to promote membership, provide information on scholarship and internship opportunities, meet interesting current and future leaders, and make new friends.
Regional Conferences are typically held at college campuses, hosted by the school’s AISES Chapter. Many professional members participate as mentors and speakers, sharing their expertise and facilitating discussions in areas like engineering, environmental science, or on crossovers between traditional ecological knowledge and western science.
