Student Symposium

The Cornell College Student Symposium provides a venue in which students may present their scholarly and creative work. Initiated in 1997, the symposium encourages wide community participation and attendance. It has become an annual event and an important part of the Cornell experience.

Each student participant works closely with a faculty sponsor in choosing, preparing and presenting her/his work. The projects, many initiated by students, generally take several months to prepare. Presentations may be in oral, poster or performance/lecture format.
