Students Committee
Annual Meeting Events
This year, the Students’ Committee is hosting two panels and four breakfast forums featuring scholars from various disciplines. All of our events are tailored to specific graduate student needs and offer students the opportunity to meet, share ideas, and initiate professional relationships with scholars outside their own programs and universities.
**Don’t forget, the Students’ Committee also sponsors a FREE continental breakfast Friday and Saturday morning in the Student Hospitality Lounge for all students attending the conference!
Further panel information, including days/times, will be available at a later date.
