The Languages, Literatures and Cultures department will host oral presentations for several of their students at 4 p.m. in 202 Stevenson Hall in conjunction with the Research Symposium.
The Symposium encourages cross-disciplinary associations and focuses on communicating research to the general public. Faculty members, staff, visitors and peers will provide oral and written feedback to student participants.
