Are you a budding historian, a creative writer, an avid reader, an intrepid journalist, a savvy politician, a stellar communicator, or simply a student of arts and letters?

We invite high school students to participate in the Arts & Letters Symposium by attending and/or presenting their research, creative writing, and projects in fields related to Arts & Letters.

Submit a description (100-150 words) of your research paper, creative writing, or project to artsandletterssymposium@calbaptist.edu by the extended deadline of March 10, 2026. In the subject line of your email, write "HS Submission: Arts & Letters Symposium." In the body of your email, list your name, email address, school name, location of school, name and email address of a HS teacher who can give you a reference, and a general subject (e.g., creative writing, American history, political science, etc.). 

List the title of your proposed presentation (such as the name of the poem, paper, or project, etc. you wish to share at the Symposium). Paste your 100-150 word description into the body of the email (not as an attachment).

Contact Dr. Laura Veltman (lveltman@calbaptist.edu) with any questions.
