Doctoral Research and Inquiry Conference

The Research & Inquiry Conference is a half-day event where students present their research in a supportive, scholarly setting. Students share their work through panel presentations or structured poster sessions, engaging in discussion with moderators and attendees. Participation in the R&I Conference, with advisor approval, helps students prepare for future professional scholarship and is required before defending a dissertation. The conference also promotes mentorship, academic community building, and professional research practices within the College.
