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.
Laura Everson BA ’22More about LauraI’ve attended several different symposia events! I always leave them with a new understanding, and a new feeling of excitement. In particular, the Gender Studies Symposium is fantastic. It always opens my mind to new understandings.
Azucena Morales Santos BA ’24More about AzucenaEvery Ray Warren Symposium event that I attended both affirmed and challenged my academic experience by making me think of thought-provoking questions.
Carolina Ruíz BA ’22More about CarolinaI felt drawn to be a cochair for the Ray Warren Symposium because of its ability to build community and center scholarship focused on race and ethnicity.
