SACNAS provides unparalleled conference activities for students, postdocs, educators, administrators, and researchers in all disciplines of science, mathematics, and engineering.

About the Theme:
The 2008 SACNAS National Conference celebrates the organization’s 35th anniversary. In honor of this milestone, SACNAS marks this year’s conference by engaging conference participants from all scientific fields in discourse on global change.

SACNAS’ theme focuses on global change—particularly climate change—and its impact on all fields of science. The theme explores changes to all ecosystems and populations from the poles to the desert Southwest. Timed to correspond with world-wide efforts related the International Polar Year and supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation, SACNAS' IPY conference represents an opportunity for the minority scientific community to have a voice in the direction and application of research affecting the health of the planet and her people.
