This annual symposium day, organized like the Student Symposium held each spring, was inaugurated in November 2002. In this day-long campus-wide event, students who have studied in another country (whether by coming to the U.S. or going to a country outside the U.S.) make presentations about what they have learned. While some students focus on the intercultural aspects of their learning, others present research conducted abroad or participate in panel discussions focusing on current international events.
Students are sponsored by a faculty member who works with them on the 20 minute presentation of their research. The participants' names and a summary of their research are published in a brochure for this event. This is an all-campus event where the students become the teachers.
The 2007 International Symposium Day is Wednesday, November 7, during Beloit's annual celebration of International Education Week (Nov. 5-9). Symposium presentations are offered throughout the day in various campus venues.
