T

he 14th MTNA Collegiate Symposium will be January 17–18, 2026, on the campus of the University of South Carolina in Columbia, South Carolina. An annual meeting of collegiate members, recent graduates, collegiate chapters, and their advisors, the Symposium has been instrumental in building bridges of communication and research across the country.

This annual conference is sponsored by MTNA, and it combines the quality of the lectures of the national conferences but in a much smaller and intimate environment. Lectures are given by collegiate faculty, current students, and recent graduates.

We invite you to both attend and present at this event.

Although focused on MTNA Collegiate Chapters and collegiate members, the weekend is open to anyone and everyone. We anticipate a wonderful weekend, and we hope to see you there!
