Center Symposium
How it works:
You will get 15 minutes to present your efforts or plans for social change, followed by five minutes to answer questions and connect with others who care about making a difference. We are seeking proposals that demonstrate how students connect what they have learned from their in-classroom experiences with social justice concepts and how they plan to use that knowledge to lead and inspire change, on or off campus. You will also get assistance on how to develop your proposal into a presentation.
What you’ll gain:
- Build your confidence and polish your public speaking skills
- Meet peers from others disciplines committed to contributing to society
- Learn to turn your experiences into leadership opportunities
- Show off your ideas for creating tangible change in the community
Join us and be part of a supportive community where your ideas matter and your impact grows—everyone is welcome, and your story could spark the next wave of change.
Share your project, research, creative work or ideas for social change.
- Open to undergraduate and graduate students.
- Build presentation skills
- Connect with fellow changemakers
- Showcase your impact
If you need support on submitting your proposal or presenting at the Symposium, there is support! Please reach out to Tamara Williams Van Horn.
Proposals will be reviewed by Center staff, and applicants will be notified of their selection by Monday, Oct. 26.
