Celebration of Learning 2016

The Celebration of Learning will be Augustana's third Symposium Day for 2015-16. It will take place on May 4.

This annual event gives students the opportunity to share their scholarly and creative work and be a part of a campus-wide community of learners. Students are invited to submit proposals for presentations, posters, and performances.

The Celebration of Learning began a student research symposium in 1997, and is the result of hundreds of hours of collaborative work between students and faculty members.
