About SIGNALS
SIGNALS is a group of ‘Students, Interested Parties, and
Graduates Networking And Liaising around
Sustainability.’ Stemming from the Innovation, Science,
and Environment Stream of Carleton's School of Public
Policy and Administration (SPPA), SIGNALS brings
together students, alumni, and professors who are
concerned about sustainable development issues.
The goal of SIGNALS is to create networking and
information-sharing opportunities for members, and to
facilitate initiatives aimed at furthering sustainable
development. SIGNALS networking can provide
excellent opportunities for students to make employment
contacts, and for graduates to meet other like-minded
professionals.
