Time is running out to submit proposals for the fourth annual International Symposium at Colorado State University, which will be held from Feb. 27 to March 1 in the Lory Student Center.
Organizers are calling for proposals for either one-hour sessions or presentations, or from those who wish to participate in a multimedia showcase of international activities. The proposals are due on Monday, Oct. 31, and will be reviewed and selected by a committee.
Students, faculty and staff are all invited to submit proposals that cover a wide range of international topics such as educational experiences, research, social and environmental issues, health, music and arts, culture, language and politics. These proposals can also encompass an individual’s international work, studies or interests.
The goal of the International Symposium is to highlight the way CSU students, faculty, staff and partners add global dimensions to their teaching and learning, research, scholarship and community engagement.

Each session during the symposium is free and open to the public, with formats ranging from panels to roundtable discussions and even games. There will also be a two-hour multimedia showcase where students, faculty and staff can communicate their international work or studies through a variety of media, as well as interact with attendees.
Proposals should include a description of no more than 150 words or a video submission of no more than three minutes, as well as presenter bios of 100 words or less per presenter.
To submit a proposal, fill out this form: col.st/U7BHR.
