Rural Symposium - March 5, 2024

The Rural Symposium is an annual opportunity for University of Guelph graduate students to showcase their rural research to policymakers, policy analysts, and program staff from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA). The event facilitates knowledge mobilization and network building between graduate students at the University of Guelph, researchers, and OMAFRA. The 2024 Rural Symposium will take place on March 5 from 9.00 am - 3.00 pm. 

The event will be held at the Conference Centre (main floor) at 1 Stone Road West in Guelph. Please use the Qualtrics link to register for this free event. If you would like to connect virtually please reach out to Prof. Sara Epp to explore details. Lunch will be provided for those in attendance. 

The Rural Symposium is a great opportunity to network with potential employers within the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, learn about emerging rural research, and support fellow students.
