Presenting at national and international conferences is a culminating and transformative experience for graduate students. As noted in the student quotes below, presenting their work has many benefits including: receiving valuable feedback, networking with leaders in their discipline, meeting new collaborators and building communication skills. Help students achieve this milestone and have a positive impact on their careers by making a gift today.
Your gift makes a difference to students like these:
This was “much needed financial support that allowed me to attend a conference where I was able to gain experience in presenting my research and attend presentations about the latest research developments, adding to my repertoire of knowledge and expertise as a trainee and professional.”
This travel award “allowed me to network with other academics, from which I ended up getting my current job.”
“I would not otherwise have attended a conference because it was too pricy to pay out of pocket.”
“Presenting my research work to domain experts gave me the chance to improve my public speaking skills to an audience with a variety of backgrounds. This skill is rarely taught in the classroom. It is important to have solid communication skills to convey the research idea to people.”
