Below is the schedule for the RSC Undergraduate Spring Symposium 2010. It will take place on Saturday, May 1st from 1:00 – 3:00 PM starting in Buchman and with concurrent sessions in Gurley.  We have more than 50 students presenting their academic work.  Please come for as much of the Symposium as you can, as our students deserve a large and appreciative audience.

We will meet in Bush at 1PM on Saturday, then disperse to rooms in Gurley Hall, Buchman Pavilion, and the Art Gallery.  We all meet back in Buchman for a reception starting at 3PM.

Please come for the entire Symposium to support and learn from your fellow students.  We are very proud of our students’ talents and achievements.
