2022 Summer Symposium
We are back to an In-Person program!
july 11 - july 15, 2022 | Erie 1 BOCES Center, West Seneca, NY

We are back to our roots this year, with a focus on topics that students will not see in their textbooks. Join us to learn about hot button topics from local and international experts. Students will also be joined by artists, poets, musicians and social entrepreneurs that will teach them how they can channel activism to make a difference. Students will also work on a group project on a topics of their choice designed to help the students create a program, event, or fundraiser on one of the following themes that the participant chooses on their application.
