In collaboration with the Center for Student Engagement, the Writing Program at Regis College announces its first campuswide research symposium, "Small Acts, Big Change," scheduled to take place on April 20, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the university’s library, and Maria and College Halls.
The symposium provides an annual platform for students, researchers, and faculty members to connect, network, and showcase their curriculum and co-curricular activities. This year's theme, "Small Acts, Big Change," draws inspiration from real-life community heroes making positive impacts in local and regional communities. Keynote speakers for the event include Leslie White Harvey, Framingham City Councilor and Nadia Raymond, director of the Global Nursing Program for Regis College who both manifest the theme through their commitment to positive change and advocacy.
"We are excited to bring together the Regis College community to explore the impact of small actions and local initiatives on driving positive change, key components of the university’s mission to serve the Dear Neighbor," said Jennifer Krusinger, associate professor, director of the writing program, and co-director of the First-Year Experience. "This symposium provides an opportunity for members of the campus community to address relevant social issues and promote equity and advocacy for oppressed or marginalized groups."
