We invite you to participate in a symposium on campus which will celebrate the theme of Campus Free Speech & Inclusivity.

During the symposium, students, staff and faculty are invited to openly discuss, listen and engage with diverse viewpoints on campus free speech and to advocate for voices that historically have been silenced.

Matador square is located by Magnolia Hall and Citrus Hall featuring a concrete space surrounded by grass and trees. See CSUN Campus Map for location.
