Welcome!

The mission of the Graduate Student Conference is to build networks between faculty, colleagues, advanced undergraduate students, and graduate students across disciplines related to learning. As a community, our aim is to address the ways educational access, equity, and opportunity affect, and are affected by our broader society.

We strive to introduce new scholars to the important role that academic conferences will play in their scholarly endeavors, create a safe space for budding scholars to present their ideas, and to serve as a bridge between sharing scholarship at Illinois and the broader education field.
