The conference is shaped around a series of workshops in which student scholars, creative writers, filmmakers and photographers present their best work on a subject of ethical concern. This year the theme of the Symposium is "Virtue and Victory: Ethical Challenges in Competitive Life," but we welcome submissions on all issues of ethical concern.</span></div>
