The time is NOW to research and plan for upcoming academic, research, and leadership conferences. Conference participation gives graduate students an opportunity to build an expanded network, gain specialized training, learn about trends and innovations, or present research findings. Plus, it is a great resume builder. Speak with your advisor or program director for their recommendations about the most appropriate conferences in your area of study. Listed below is a sample of upcoming local and regional conference opportunities for students:
