Call For Student Submissions: Westminster College Student Symposium On The Environment

The Westminster College
Student Symposium On The Environment has issued a call for college and high school student submissions for this special event to be held online December 1-3 and in-person on December 4 at the College in New Wilmington, Lawrence County.

Submissions are due November 17. There is no geographic limitation on submissions.

Students from all disciplines, ranging from high school through graduate school, are encouraged to participate by submitting research posters, internships, art work, oral presentations, video shorts and even performances are welcome.

This year’s symposium features both live and virtual components. Posters and oral presentations are in-person only events, while environmental photos, art, and video shorts will be included in both the live and virtual symposium. 

A dedicated YouTube channel will house the virtual symposium, where the comments feature will allow dialog between the viewers and student presenters.

All submissions will be evaluated by volunteer judges, and awards (cash prizes) will be announced in multiple categories during the in-person event.

Due to the large environmental footprint of generative A.I. technologies, the Student Symposium on the Environment discourages all use of AI on Symposium projects. 

If A.I. tools are used in any capacity, full disclosure is required in writing as part of the project presentation.

The Butler County-based Slippery Rock Watershed Coalition has again partnered with Westminster College on the Symposium.

Visit the 2025 Student Symposium On The Environment for all the details.  Questions should be directed to ENV@westminster.edu

Visit the Clarence & Mary Ann Harms Center for the Environment at Westminster College for information on environmental programs.
