FAQ

What should I wear?

Symposium day is business casual. For all other days, wear regular school clothing. Check the weather before you come- there is sometimes snow on the ground even in June!

Should students bring spending money?

Meals during the event will be provided to all participants. If your team is funded through a GLOBE partnership, your meals during travel will be covered as well. Students are welcome to bring money for other incidentals or gift shops, but it is not necessary.
