Symposium Against Global Indifference

The College of Arts and Sciences at Ashland University inaugurated the Symposium Against Indifference in 2003 as a biennial series of events and lectures dedicated to overcoming apathy in the face of human concerns by raising awareness and promoting compassionate engagement. The Symposium seeks to challenge the University community — as well as the wider Ashland community — toward a deeper understanding of difficult affairs and toward creative personal and corporate responses.
