2017 SEC Academic Conference

2017 SEC Academic Conference

Mississippi State University will be the first Southeastern Conference institution to host a new academic event focused on SEC university research collaboration.

To be held at the Starkville campus, the 2017 SEC Academic Conference will focus on “The Future of Water: Regional Collaboration on Shared Climate, Coastlines, and Watersheds.”

The conference aims to identify the dominant economic, community and ecosystem challenges to sustainable water resources in the southeastern U.S.; identify policy and practice paths to maximize the health and vitality of the region through water stewardship; and engage the best and brightest scientists in the SEC with other national and international experts in water resources.
