about the event
This online Symposium explores the intersection of law and public policy.
Grappling with some of the most pressing issues of the past year, the 2025 Temple Law and Public Policy Scholars will present on critical topics in education law and policy. They will share their innovative proposals related to gifted and accelerated education, promoting opportunities for women of color in trades, and responses to the rise of legislation requiring “outing” of LGBTQ+ students in school. This entire event is online and can be joined from your preferred location for 1 CLE credit.
