This special gathering will take place on November 6 and 7, 2025, at the historic Rackham Graduate School on the University of Michigan’s Ann Arbor campus.

About the Symposium

Our symposium will highlight the indelible mark our fellows have left on their disciplines, while also forging new paths of inquiry and collaboration. We are planning an exciting lineup of panels, performances, and social gatherings that reflect the dynamic spirit of our community.

Our panel discussions will feature esteemed alumni junior fellows who are contributing vital insights across various fields nationwide. This symposium offers a unique opportunity for intellectual exchange, collaboration, and celebration of our shared journey.
