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.
When fourteen year old David Small looses his ability to speak after developing a tumour on his neck, he undoubtably begins to question his identity and purpose on this earth as he silenced by his illness. This calls us to examine how physical and mental illness affects the identity of an individual and how they come to interact with their surroundings. Illness can be an identity and life altering event that may change ones view of themselves, their family members, and the world as everything that was once thought to be known, has completely changed.
