Symposium

The "Great Ideas at UP" Symposium showcases top five (5) UP professors from different fields who will talk (for 10 minutes each) about ideas, subjects, research projects they are most passionate about. These professors are to be chosen by a popular vote on DILC's University Virtual Learning Environment (UVLe). Anybody with a UP Webmail account can register on UVLe.

The Symposium serves many ends:

1. to celebrate "great ideas"
2. to further promote UVLe among its constituents
3. to introduce diverse disciplines to the larger public
4. to provide an opportunity for UP professors to share their passions to a diverse audience.

To ensure popular support or wide participation, DILC will seek help from colleges, departments, student organizations, sponsors, and media.

Coinciding with DILC's 7th Anniversary, the Symposium will be held on October 6, 2010, 2pm.
