SPARC [conversations], the first student-run speaker series, will hold its first event Saturday, Oct. 24, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Tinkham Veale University Center, ballrooms A and B.
SPARC is an acronym for an overarching array of topics the students hope will spark discourse—Society, Politics, Art, Research and Community. SPARC was created to provide a platform for students to share ideas with the community at large and vice versa.
The one-day event will feature speakers of varying backgrounds and education, including ÐÓ°ÉÊÓÆµ students, faculty and members of the Greater Cleveland community. In addition to individual talks, there will be a discussion panel on business development and entrepreneurship.
Attendees can come and go as they please between talks. Doors will open at 10:30 a.m.
Free food will be available at the event.
