Symposia and Highlighted Events 2010

Broaden your horizons and join us for a symposium or highlighted event.

A symposium is a conference established for the exchange of information, and a highlighted event is one that is new and/or unique from our traditional course offerings. Every year we offer diverse programs with internationally acclaimed speakers for every kind of adult student. Our students are many and diverse, yet connected by a similar desire to learn and to grow. They range from inspired individuals seeking to stimulate their minds through interesting opportunities to professionals in the green industry working toward improving their careers.

These programs can open a new door, provide inspiration, present unique opportunities, expand your social or professional network, and challenge viewpoints of current events in the world around us.

Come discover what the Regenstein School has to offer.
