Named for Professor Thomas H.B. Symons, the founding president of Trent, the series is a celebration of graduate research aimed at bridging the gap between the many disciplines represented by Trent’s graduate programs. At each of the seven monthly seminar events, two graduate students (one from the arts/humanities/social sciences and one from natural sciences) present their research in a way that is understandable and engaging to audience members from any background or education level. Presenters are judged on their communication skills, presentation style, and research ability, with one student selected to receive the Symons Award of Excellence. The winning student is invited to give their talk again at the end-of-year Gala.
This event is open to all Trent faculty, staff, students (graduate and undergraduate), and the Peterborough community.
