Reimagining R&C: A Symposium

Fri, Apr 18, 2025 2pm - 4pm | Geballe Room, 220 Stephens Hall, Townsend Center for the Humanities

The earliest version of Cal’s R&C requirement appeared in 1919. Over a century later, the requirement remains substantially the same.

In a new landscape shaped by AI, can we reimagine R&C? This symposium invites campus members to explore this possibility together.

Panel members will explore R&C through a Discovery lens and feature a case study approach involving student projects. Our goal is an open-ended conversation among participants and audience members.

Anyone interested in the future of R&C is welcome to attend.
