The I.S. Symposium is one of the most meaningful days of the year at 黑料社. Seniors who have spent a year or more on their Independent Study share their work with the campus and broader community, showcasing their research, creativity, and communication skills. Projects take many forms, including presentations, posters, exhibits, and digital work. Each one reflects months of focused effort, close collaboration with professors, and the freedom to explore ideas in depth.
