The Center for U.P. Studies brings a sense of history to Yooper culture during its annual Sonderegger Symposium. This year's Sonderegger Symposium will begin at 8 a.m., Friday, Sept. 13 in the Mead Auditorium. This year's theme is "water," and a number of speakers have already agreed to participate in the event. The public is welcome.

How To Submit An Abstract: Those interested in presenting a paper can send a 200-word abstract to Russell Magnaghi, director of the Center for U.P. Studies. 

Last year's symposium focused on the War of 1812 and other aspects of U.P. history and culture. It took place Thursday-Friday, Sept. 12-13, 2012. 

The Sonderegger Symposium is hosted with financial support from the Sonderegger family.
