The Emerging Scholars Conference enables undergraduates doing political science research to present their work in progress to faculty and graduate students. After each student presents their research for 10 minutes, their faculty advisor provides comments and leads open discussion with conference attendees.

The Value:

This is an opportunity for scholarly exchange that allows students to receive feedback on research, and preview graduate school in a top political science program. Students are hosted by current graduate students and are given advice on applying to graduate school.

This wonderful tradition will be in its ninth year!
