The annual Honors Day Symposium offers students an opportunity to share the results of their scholarly efforts with the Presbyterian College community. The Symposium occurs the afternoon of the Honors Day Convocation; both events honor outstanding academic work being completed by PC students. Past symposiums have included literary, humanist, and scientific presentations and posters from students of all years.

Students wishing to participate should submit a proposal that includes the author's name, the supervising professor and department, paper/poster title (specifying format), and a brief abstract (approximately 100 words). Also indicate any equipment needed for the presentation. Students should submit this information electronically to the coordinator for their division.
