Abstract (300 words maximum)

Many undergraduate students are not familiar with the research process involved in a book publication proposal. Through this multidisciplinary collaborative research, the faculty intends to minimize this gap by engaging the students in such a process from the early phase of proposal preparation. The student will research and review the past five years of EQUINOX Week* programs focused on Sustainable Development Goals within a collection of local and global initiatives to support a proposal for the EQUINOX proceeding publication.

With an extensive set of qualitative and quantitative data gathered over a span of 5 years. The student will be required to analyze, investigate, interpret, and gather from a multitude of data types ranging from oral speeches, videos, presentations, and research initiatives from multiple disciplines. The use of data analytics software will be used for interpreting quantitative and numerical data sets to understand Equinox's growth, potential, and reach within those 5 years.

The interdisciplinary nature of the various programs participating in Equinox makes it a central catalyst for innovative concepts achieved to contribute to the development, advancement, and sharing of knowledge.

The interconnectedness of social, ecological, economic, cultural, and political issues addressed in the global framework of Equinox demonstrates the active key players in sustainability and their efforts toward a common goal.

The main aim of this research is to raise awareness of the various and present challenges the world is facing by demonstrating through research (and book publication) the interconnectedness of those challenges as well as the active forces working towards permanent solutions that will spark new areas of imagination, technological advancements and contribute to knowledge for the benefit of everyone.
