Spring Student Symposium

2024 Spring Student Symposium

Students from all class years and disciplines are invited to present their academic work on Friday, April 19, 2024 from 9 am - 5 pm in McCardell Bicentennial Hall. It is a day of of ideas, research, and creations for the entire Middlebury community to share. 

Since its start in 2007, the event has showcased the academic and creative works from students in all years and disciplines. In addition to presenting, students enjoy attending to support their friends, explore a major, or learn more about undergraduate research topics here at Middlebury.

“The Student Symposium was one of my favorite days of the year. Presenting my work was very rewarding, but the day was great because of the quality of everyone’s work and presentation. Students at Middlebury work hard, and the Symposium is an amazing way to celebrate achievements and also gain essential presentation skills.”

“I enjoyed being able to share my work with my friends and family in a public setting, but I was really amazed by the depth and breadth of the other research I got to learn about during the Symposium. I felt reenergized at the end of the day because it was a great reminder of the passion and brilliance of so many members of the Middlebury community.”

Spring Symposium supporters include the Norbert K. Vaughn ’10 Memorial Fund, established in 2008, to honor Norbert’s memory and an event that exemplifies his approach to scholarly inquiry.
