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.
Sustainable agriculture is an essential part of the solution to climate change. After determining the importance and necessity of sustainable agriculture, our team determined an excellent way for every-day people to take proactive actions towards creating healthier environments: garden sustainably themselves. After researching growing techniques that emphasize sustainable practices, our team developed a plan for a model garden--one designed to maximize soil health, biodiversity, and organic produce yield--for the average Pennsylvanian yard. This poster seeks to inform the general public about sustainable gardening practices, and to motivate them to do it.
