Public Purpose Symposium

Join the Hart Leadership Program for the second annual Public Purpose Symposium as we celebrate and explore community-engaged research and leadership in conversation with Hart Leadership Program students. Throughout the day, you’ll have opportunities to hear students share their learning from collaborative community-based projects, connect with peers and alumni, and take part in lively conversations about making an impact through research and service. From poster sessions and lunchtime roundtable discussions to a special keynote address, the Symposium invites attendees to explore public purpose while highlighting both the creativity and the real-world relevance of student work in partnership with communities.
