The symposium is an inter-college event where students openly discuss the topics explored within each college’s respective theme.
Every RC student will give either a Presentation or a Poster - either as a group or as an individual project. Every RC student will also be an audience member.
At Registration, you will receive a name tag with your schedule on it. The Symposium is organized into two, concurrent, sessions: Session I: 1:30 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. & Session II: 3:10 p.m. - 4:40 p.m.
A farm is only as productive as its pollinators. Our project will focus on attracting and housing a variety of beneficial insects and pollinators that will promote productivity and the overall health of the farm. The incorporation of native plants species, honeybees, orchard mason bees, ladybugs, and mini parasitic wasps will facilitate a symbiotic relationship between our garden and the surrounding farm. While wasps and ladybugs will deter harmful pests, the two species of bees will pollinate the plants, negating the need for harmful fertilizers and pesticides. Although the Bucknell farm may seem insignificant from a global perspective, it represents a vision of a sustainable agricultural future.
