Showcasing and Supporting Student Academic Success
About the Symposium
The Whalen Symposium offers students the opportunity to collaborate on research and creative works with their professors and with one another and provides a conference-like setting in which to present their work.
Held in April each year, the Whalen Symposium provides a rich sample of the wide range of student research and creativity. Enormous personal growth comes from working closely with a mentor to define and refine a research topic, gather information and evidence, and then write and present findings!
