We are striving to recognize the knowledge students bring to the learning environment and connect with communities and seek real-life experiences. By encouraging students to participate in the Learning Symposium, we are asking students to apply what they are learning in a project form that is relevant and appropriate to their goals and skills.

Areas in which to frame a project include, but are not limited to:

• Service Learning/Community Service 
• Research/Field Study
• Leadership 
• Civil Engagement 
• Internships

With the support of the Athens Rotary club, the Instructional Innovation team coordinates the symposium. 

All TVCC students (part-time, full-time, & dual credit) are invited and encouraged to participate. All faculty and staff are encouraged to mentors students' participation and to volunteer. The college, community, alumni, and sponsors are invited to attend all sessions and support the student presenters. 

The mission of the TVCC Learning Symposium is to recognize and celebrate the knowledge students bring and learn from the learning environment by providing a venue for students to showcase their work and foster an environment for students, faculty, staff, administration, alumni, and the community to network and support the learning being conducted at TVCC.
