Action Projects, one of the components of the Truman Symposium (TRU 100), promotes engagement, community, and collaboration. For Fall 2020 and Fall 2021, student team members worked on projects designed to make a positive impact in the community and beyond. Explore current and past highlights from the various action projects. (Watch for updates as we add the Fall 2021 projects here!)
On December 6, 2021, students from the Symposium and the Self and Society Seminars are coming together for a Symposium Festival celebrating the end of this year’s First Year Experience for new Truman students. The event begins at 4:30 p.m. in the SUB Georgian Rooms. To see and participate in the Virtual Symposium Festival, click here.
