The biennial symposium is a celebration of intellectual curiosity and creative problem-solving.  Made possible by a gift from Robert A. Hefner III '53, founder and owner and managing partner of GHK Company, pioneer in natural gas exploration and production, and advocate for alternative energy research.  When Mr. Hefner made his generous gift to the schools, he made special provisions to enable students to learn directly from extraordinary individuals, like his own extraordinary mentor, Ray Alf (Webb icon and founder of the Raymond Alf Museum of Paleontology).  

Webb’s talented faculty has designed thirty different courses that students can choose from this year. The course offerings are varied, but they all share a common mission, as outlined in the purpose statement for this program:

Unbounded Days draws upon The Webb Schools’ enduring purpose of inspiring students to boldly reach for a greater sense of who they are and what they can achieve. Through immersive, collaborative, relevant, and deeply engaging journeys that connect the classroom and the broader world, students expand their understanding of what it means to think, create, and reflect. They learn that their possibilities and their minds are truly unbounded.
