The mission of the Graduate Student Conference is to build networks between faculty, colleagues, advanced undergraduate students, and graduate students within the field of education. As a community, it is our aim to address the ways educational access, equity, and opportunity affect, and are affected by, our broader society.
The theme for the 2022 GSC is: Education in Unprecedented Times: Making Education Accessible for All
The Graduate Student Conference is made possible through the generous support of Dr. K. Patricia Cross, a distinguished Illinois alumna. Dr. Cross credits her time as a graduate student at Illinois for laying the foundation of what would become a remarkable career. In that spirit, her generous donation makes the Graduate Student Conference a reality.
Congratulations! You've taken the first step to becoming a student of the College of Education. The application process is different for undergraduate and graduate studies.
