A Long History of Published Scholarship
Since 2000, the Symposium, formerly hosted at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga under the auspices of the George R. West, Junior Chair of Excellence in Communications and Public Affairs, the late Dr. David Sachsman, has produced nine different books of readings covering a broad range of subjects.
These works have become a hallmark of the Symposium and demonstrate both the diversity of topics and academic rigor of their presentations.
