The conference provides a wonderful opportunity for selected presenters to share recent scholarship and creative work in a lively, intellectual forum. Non-presenting students are encouraged to attend the symposium, too, as the conference is a great venue for fellowship with colleagues across participating institutions. Presenters and program directors will receive a free lunch. Those who are not presenting are welcome to purchase a lunch, which will be available with the presenter's lunches.

For additional details and to submit your abstract, visit the West Coast Graduate Liberal Studies Symposium website.
