Alenda Lux: Symposium, a Day of Celebration on Davidson’s Campus
A breezy, sunny spring day was the perfect backdrop for the Alenda Lux: Symposium at Davidson College on May 9.
With hundreds of posters, presentations, readings, performances, shows, and demonstrations, the symposium filled the campus buildings from early morning until late afternoon, punctuated by a free-of-charge community lunch under the shade of trees in the Richardson Plaza. Music by student musicians provided lively entertainment.
The college called the symposium a “campus-wide celebration of undergraduate research, community projects, and creative works.” And celebration was certainly in the air today. Classes were dismissed, and the entire Davidson community was invited to join in on the day, giving students and townspeople the opportunity to interact and get to know each other.
The Alenda Lux: Symposium has all the makings of a great tradition for town and college.
