Learn From Peers
This one-day academic conference is a great way to stay connected to others in their field and learn about cutting-edge scholarship. You will learn from others and improve your own skills and knowledge about your field.
Build Your Network
Great way to network with people in your field who can offer you opportunities and provide you with great mentorship. Creating a network of mentors and scholarly friends is a strategic way of having a support system now and in the future.
Registration is required for both student presenters and regular attendees. All interested students and faculty are invited to attend. The students interested in presenting a 20-minute talk should submit an abstract before February 08. All other attendees are expected to register by February 15.
