The theme for 2023 is Blue Connections.
With the expansion of maritime initiatives at ODU, "Blue Connections" hopes to explore opportunities for the campus community to engage in awareness and support of the ocean's ecosystems through a variety of disciplines - the arts and design, sciences, business, education, engineering, health, supply chain, and more.
Blue Connections means
- appreciating and researching the crucial roles our oceans, coastal waterways, freshwater systems, etc. play in our global economies.
- recognizing and advocating for the various sectors that impact our blue economy - ocean defense, tourism and recreation, fisheries, offshore renewable energy, ocean transportation, Naval enterprise, supply chain and logistics, maritime workforce, and more.
- connecting land and waterways in the distribution of goods and services.
