Spring Symposium

Spring Symposium

Spring Symposium offers students at Reed the opportunity to join a small community focused on enhancing academic skills and strategies while building relationships with Reed students, faculty and staff. The program is open for all students but is especially designed for First-Year and Sophomore students.

Spring Symposium helps students:

  • Build and strengthen academic skills and strategies like time management, motivation, writing, and approaches to studying
  • Develop strategies to incorporate holistic well-being into their time at Reed
  • Build relationships with students, faculty and staff
