The Connected Learning Symposium

The Connected Learning Symposium is a yearly interdisciplinary event, where students and alumni present and discuss their research and ideas regarding issues of social justice.

This symposium aims to create a space for students to learn from each other and foster connections with peers across disciplines. By participating, students and alumni contribute to a growing community of changemakers and demonstrate their critical role in shaping (new) possibilities for social justice.
