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.

We are now accepting proposals for the Sixteenth Annual Cornell College Student Symposium which will take place in The Commons on Saturday, April 21, 2012.

Please regard your submission as a serious professional commitment. Sponsors and students should submit titles and abstracts only if they are certain that they will be able to attend and be prepared to present.  Please check your calendars for MCAT and Mock Trial dates, as these sometimes fall on the weekend of April 21st.

Deadline for submissions is February 3rd.

Presenters will find guidelines and examples for symposium presentations, as well as an abstract submission form on the Purple side bar located to the left of this page.  Many examples of abstracts from previous symposia can be found in our symposium archives.  Please contact us at any time with questions.
