Attendees network with other students, share stories and ideas, and showcase projects that make a difference in their communities.

PARTNER
Exemplar EAST projects fill the CART — Critical Thinking, Advance, Real, and Teamwork. It is important for an EAST project to be real which often requires working with a community partner. EAST students work with community partners to curate unique experiences and solve real world problems. Looking to connect with an EAST program? Check out our project database at EASTinitiative.org.
