2026 Goucher Symposium
Each year, the college sets aside a day in the academic calendar to hold the Goucher Symposium, a celebration of student learning and scholarship.
On May 8, 2026, more than 150 undergraduate students from across all the college’s academic centers will be sharing their talents, their reflections, and their research through displays, performances, and presentations. The wide range of student work includes the presentation of original research in the sciences and humanities, advocacy for social justice, community-based projects, and creative works in the fine and performing arts.
The presentations will be held in-person and live-streamed. We invite all friends and family to join us in-person or virtually to celebrate our students’ work.
