Interdisciplinary Research Panels
The 15th annual Senior Legacy Symposium will be held in person, with the addition of a dedicated website that celebrates the accomplishments of Saint Louis University's Class of 2022. In addition to submitting project details for the website, all nominated students were offered the opportunity to take part in a series of live discussion panels to share insights gained during their research. Students will be invited to share an overview of their research as well as to discuss the process of research, its connection to SLU's mission, its implications for future professional plans, etc. These panels feature a cross-section of disciplines, giving students and guests the opportunity see and appreciate the impressive range of research and scholarship our students create at SLU.
The interdisciplinary research panels will be held in person from 3-5pm on Tuesday, May 3rd. See below for the schedule and associated speakers. Each session will be moderated by a SLU staff member, but the students will drive most of the conversation. Click on each student's name to access their project details.
