The Black Graduate Students Association is excited to announce our 5th Annual Conference. This year’s conference theme is Leadership & Innovation and it will showcase research that pushes boundaries, challenges conventional thinking, and highlights leadership in academia, industry, and beyond. The conference will feature keynotes by Dr. George Dei and Dr. Chidozie Ojobor, rocket pitches and panel discussions on leadership. We invite Black scholars from all disciplines to submit an abstract. Abstract submission and registration is open until May 15, 2025.
