Preparing for the Symposium<\/h3>\n

The Ford Scholars Symposium is a celebration of the summer Ford projects and it is an academic event that honors the collaboration between faculty and students.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Symposium will be in-person in the Class of 1951 Reading Room in the Main Library.\u00a0 The Symposium will be open to the campus community, so please feel free to invite some guests. At the end of each session, there will be time to chat informally, ask questions, and eat!<\/p>\n
