What is Symposium?

Every spring, Gordon College devotes one Thursday, all day long (with no classes) to hear what you, the student body, has to say. This is your opportunity to put on an event with your student club, lead a discussion with your friends, create a work of art with your classmates, present your senior thesis, or mount a play with your peers. This is a day meant for the student body to reverse the direction of the classroom and share what they have to say!

When is CFI Symposium?

This year, Symposium will be held on Thursday, April 16. Sessions will run all day, from 8:00am-6:00pm. Check out our live-updating Symposium Schedule and get excited for the upcoming events!

How do I get involved?

CFI welcomes session proposals from any and all majors.

Apply by March 19 with your proposal for a 50-minute event advertised across campus and open to all. We especially welcome out-of-the-box thinking to connect your ideas with the overarching theme.
