Student Leadership
Student leadership anchors each symposium, and in many cases, that leadership is acknowledged with academic credit.
With support and mentorship from faculty and staff, student leaders research and develop the symposium themes, invite and host speakers, create panels and workshops, curate art exhibits, develop publicity, manage budgets, and coordinate event logistics. In addition, students also present their own work, often alongside community leaders, distinguished scholars, and professional writers and artists. All symposia offer rich opportunities for meaningful collaboration, multifaceted research, and the use and development of sophisticated communication skills.

Grace Marchant BA ’25More about GraceBeing a cochair for the Gender Studies Symposium has been one of the most rewarding experiences I have had as a student.
