FHIS Undergraduate Symposium 2024-25
The FHIS Undergraduate Symposium is a celebration of learning and a platform for knowledge-sharing by UBC’s Department of French, Hispanic and Italian Studies (FHIS), as part of Arts Multilingual Week.
This symposium gives FHIS undergraduate students the opportunity to share their coursework from Winter Terms 1 and 2—such as research papers, creative projects, reflections, and more—through two formats: a Research Forum and a Poster Presentation. You can choose to participate in one or both formats. A Certificate of Participation will be given to all presenters.
You can also volunteer as a moderator of the Q&A portion of the Research Forum, or you can also simply come as an attendee to support and learn from your fellow classmates.
Snacks and beverages will be served.
