Westminster College in New Wilmington, Lawrence County will host its annual Student Symposium on the Environment on December 6 at the McKelvey Campus Center from 5:30 to 9:00 p.m.

A networking and poster session will begin at 5:30 in the Witherspoon Rooms with oral presentations to begin at 7:00 in the Mueller Theater.

The Slippery Rock Watershed Coalition is once again partnering with Westminster College on the Symposium.

The purpose of this event is to highlight environmental study, research, artistic expression, and service work being conducted by students in the region.
