Please join us for the end of year Symons Gala on April 24^th at 6pm!

This evening, we will be celebrating the 2024-2025 winner of the Symons Seminar Series for Graduate Research, with a presentation on their work.

Initiated by students of the 1993-94 Vanier Seminar, the Thomas H.B. Symons Seminar Series for Graduate Research, is a graduate student research forum where individuals from various disciplines communicate their knowledge and research findings to a broader audience consisting of fellow graduate students, and the Trent and Peterborough communities. The series has provided a unique platform for graduate students and future leaders to share their research and raise awareness on different issues of concern.

The Symons Seminar Series for Graduate Research brings to life the joys and passions of Tom Symons. Graduate Students have the chance to present their research to an audience comprising of individuals from both Trent University and the Peterborough Community. Each seminar features two students (one from the Arts and one from the Sciences) who present their research and help bridge the gap between the Arts and Sciences. The Symons Seminar Series for Graduate Research is one of the longest running student-led seminar series in North America.

The Gala will be held in Bagnani Hall, at Traill College. Dress attire is as formal as you'd like.

Tickets are available (while they last) for $20.

Catering is courtesy of By the Bridge (vegetarian and Halal options will be available).

The evening will include musical entertainment, a delicious dinner, and presentation by the 2024-2025 winner of the Symons Seminar Series.

We hope that you will be able to join us for an evening of great food and even better company!
