Spring Student Symposium - April 18-19, 2013

 

The 2013 Spring Student Symposium, an all-campus event that showcases the scholarly and creative pursuits of the Middlebury student body took place on April 18-19.  Beginning on the evening of Thursday, April 18 and continuing all day Friday, April 19, more than 350 students presented independent work to the campus community including oral presentations, performances, posters, artwork, and readings.  Classes were cancelled on Friday so that the Middlebury community could come out to engage with student presenters and performers for two days of intellectual inquiry and inspiration, what many have termed, "...a party about thinking."
