Join the annual Accepted Symposium

An Event Which Celebrates YOU

The Annual Accepted Symposium is a celebration of diverse, non-traditional, and first generation voices and research within and beyond traditional academic silos. Founded on the principle that the best ideas come from unique perspectives, we bring together scholars from all stages of their careers (community college, university, graduate school, independent research, and professors) looking to share their ideas, experiences and work in a welcoming environment which champions multi-disciplinary connection over the divisions which often separate us.
