Symposia at The Queen’s College

Organised by Seb Wilkes (MCR 3rd year)

Come and listen our college community, both MCR and SCR, discuss their latest work. The Queen’s College Symposium, or QCS, happens twice a term. The standard format is to have two speakers, with 30 minutes each including questions from the audience. One of my manifesto pledges was to hold more thematic evenings – do keep an eye out! QCS is held in The Shulman Auditorium. Afterwards, there is a Free dinner in the SCR! Though please make sure you book on promptly. The schedule for the year 23/24 is still being worked on, but here is what was in the calendar last year.
