We are very excited to field applications for our second academic conference specifically for UW graduate and professional students. Conferences are often expensive with travel, living, and professional costs beyond what many students are able to afford. However, conferences are also crucial for many students to develop the professional skills and networking necessary to succeed in their fields. This academic conference is an interdisciplinary opportunity for graduate and professional students at the University of Washington to satisfy these needs in an environment that mitigates barriers which might otherwise prevent professional growth. Applications are open to students from all three UW campuses.
