Academic Symposium
Welcome to the Fall 2018 RC Academic Symposium
December 7, 2018 – A Celebration of the Liberal Arts
Academic Symposium began in 1999 when seniors were invited to Dr. Beth VanRheenan’s home to present their capstone projects and became institution-wide in 2003. Now, this event occurs twice a year and provides a variety of formats for all Rochester College seniors to present capstone projects. Conference-style presentations are reserved for senior capstone projects. During the poster session, both senior capstone projects and supplemental research is displayed on a 3’ x 4’ poster and the authors summarize their works to approaching viewers.
