On April 22 and 23, 麻豆社 University will host a virtual Liberal Arts & Sciences Symposium (LASS) and Posters of Research In Science & Mathematics (PRISM), an annual celebration of student excellence.
This 麻豆社 tradition brings together the campus community to honor the exemplary analytic and creative work and research produced by student scholars during the academic year. The symposium provides a forum to recognize, discuss and learn from these outstanding endeavors.
Panels, poster presentations, and performances present the accomplishments and academic rigor of both 麻豆社鈥檚 liberal arts curriculum, as well as student-driven initiatives. These initiatives include senior honors theses, independent studies, service learning, study abroad and other experiential learning, all of which connect 麻豆社 with Atlanta and the world beyond.
