What's a symposium you ask?
In ancient Greece, a symposium was a party with music and conversation. Today, a symposium is a formal gathering in which individuals present and exchange ideas regarding a topic - in SMC's case - about global citizenship and the theme of Risk, Refuge & Resilience.
For the fourteenth consecutive year, Santa Monica College is proud to present our students' finest work investigating and celebrating the ideas and practices of global citizenship and its annual theme: Risk, Refuge & Resilience.
All SMC students are invited to submit their course work from Spring 2022 through Spring 2023 that best exemplifies Global Citizenship and the theme of Risk, Refuge & Resilience for campus-wide recognition.

What is Global Citizenship?
To be a global citizen, one is knowledgeable of peoples, customs and cultures in regions of the world beyond one's own; understands the interdependence that holds both promise and peril for the future of the global community; and is committed to combining one’s learning with a dedication to foster a livable, sustainable world.
