It's the Symposium’s 16th anniversary! What is a better way to honor its “Sweet 16” than with a celebration?
The 2025 Digital Symposium theme is “Celebrating Milestones in Digital Composing,” which highlights the journeys and discoveries in digital composition that students in the English department in 2024.
A “sweet 16” is a tradition in many cultures – a “coming of age” party – for a person’s 16th birthday. This birthday marks a significant milestone in a person’s life, emphasizing a time to reflect on their past and how far they have come. This year, the FSU Digital Studio adopts Sweet 16 as a metaphor to highlight our Digital Symposium’s annual commemoration of student projects and their evolving digital literacies.
Our 16th Digital Symposium serves as an opportunity for us to celebrate the knowledge that featured undergraduate and graduate students have developed and strengthened last year.
The English department saw those in our community reach many milestones throughout the 2024 spring, summer, and fall semesters, including: developing digital literacies, understanding how to compose in various genres, fostering creative uses of multimodality, participating in digital collaboration, promoting accessibility and ethical design, growing in their technical skills, and much more.
These digital creations are examples of the knowledge that our department has exemplified throughout the past year. We are extremely proud of their digital projects and are confident these students will become even stronger, more critical composers as they transform these literacies for future works.
Please join us in recognizing the excellent work that has come from each of our student composers by navigating our digital showcase and attending our in-person Open House reception in the FSU Digital Studio.
A note from Giana Nardelli, this year's coordinator:
