The James J Whalen Academic Symposium is looking to begin its 17th year with a creative twist. The steering committee is currently looking for designs that will be used for the 2015 Symposium.  If selected, your creation will represent the College-wide Symposium for 2015, in which hundreds of students across campus participate.

Entries must be submitted as camera-ready files, preferably in high-resolution JPEG format. Entry files should work equally well for web presentation and for print media. Entry files should be designed in color, but should be equally effective in black-and-white.

Juniper Network Connect for Macs (commonly used for remote access to the Mentor file server) is not compatible with OS X Mavericks, the latest Mac operating system. Instead, Mac users (OS 10.6 and above) should use Junos Pulse to connect to Mentor from off campus. Junos Pulse offers improvements over Network connect such as an easier connection process and simpler interface. Feedback from our testers has been excellent! Instructions for installing and configuring Junos Pulse can be found in this guide:
