Humanity First

Research Symposium

Symposium 2020

This symposium, which occurred on November 1st, 2020, raised $240 for our Gift of Health program, providing free medical care to thousands of impoverished Guatemalans.

Through this event, 6 student scholars were provided a platform to present/showcase their work and publish to the UT Digital Repository (a publicly accessible, academic platform that is citable), all while supporting a noble effort. The event was a huge success and to get a glimpse of the day, the schedule is shown on the right!

Congratulations to our 2020 published Humanity First Scholars!
