Research and Service Learning Symposium
The Research and Service Leadership Symposium provides students an opportunity to expand their learning beyond the walls of the classroom (or the confines of the screen); to investigate their world through in-depth research projects; to create and participate in worthwhile service learning activities, including original creative arts projects, and to present their newfound knowledge, insights and experiences to the campus community.
The Symposium is a celebration of student projects. The event includes:
- A full day and evening of presentations, poster sessions, peer discussion forums, art galleries, and creative performances.
- Awards ceremony, keynote speaker and closing celebration.
Even if you are not presenting, please plan to attend!
