Inaugurated in 2002 by the late Professor Jed Deppman, the Jed Deppman Translation Symposium is a fast-paced, multilingual event that celebrates literary translation and showcases our students’ linguistic, intellectual, and creative talents as literary translators. The Symposium consists of two events: a student reading on April 14 and a keynote address on April 15 by a renowned literary translator. This year's keynote is by Michael Emmerich.
