Senior Symposium

All philosophy majors at Denison are required to participate in the Senior Symposium. The Symposium is a year-long project, in which you will write a paper on a philosophical topic of your choice and then defend it to faculty and your fellow students in a student Symposium to be held during the spring semester. The Senior Symposium fulfils the R requirement.
