SLU ATLAS Program

Atlas Week at Saint Louis University is an annual event that recognizes the international dimension of SLU's academic programs and celebrates the University's role in international education and service. During the Atlas Program, students, faculty, and staff from across the University participate by organizing events which highlight the international dimensions of their programs. The Signature Symposium, presented by internationally renowned speakers who have dedicated their lives to issues of political and social justice, is traditionally held on Thursday of the week. The weeklong celebration culminates on Friday with the Billiken World Festival. The Parade of Nations kicks off the event, which also features live cultural music and dance, academic and informational booths, carnival games and international cuisine.
