About the Symposium
Plan to participate in this campus and community-wide event!
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). Students are encouraged to investigate their world through in-depth research projects, create and participate in worthwhile service learning activities, broaden perspectives through original creative arts projects, and present their newfound knowledge, insights and experiences to the campus community.
Students will gain experience presenting in a professional conference setting on the virtual campus through presentations, performance, displays and discussion.
The Symposium itself is the culminating event of these student projects. The event includes:
- A full day and evening of on-campus presentations, poster sessions, art galleries, and creative performances.
- A keynote speaker, opening ceremony, closing celebration, and awards ceremony.
- Hybrid activities on campus, including live streaming of virtual presentations and discussion.
