The theme for this year's symposium is "Telling Stories, Charting a Future: 'Coming to the end of the road… the jumping-off place'" It is inspired by Eudora Welty's story "No Place for You, My Love" from The Bride of Innisfallen and Other Stories.
All sessions will be held in Rent Auditorium of Whitfield Hall and live-streamed for those who can't attend in person.
