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.
My project will be about Stoicism and the three principal leaders of this philosophy: Zeno, Serena, and Marcus Aurelius. Stoicism has just a few central teachings. It reminds us how brief our life is. How unpredictable the world can be. How small we are in the grand scheme of things. And so, it sets out to teach us how to be steadfast, strong, and in control of yourself. How to accept that there are things we can't control and utilize to the fullest of what we can control: our mind and our action.
