What are Academic Conferences (And Why Should You Care)?
The beginning of a new school year also marks the start of the academic conference season. Some colleges and career offices do a great job relaying the importance of attending professional and academic conferences. Others don’t get to it.
ACADEMIC CONFERENCES: UNDERGRADUATES
Did you know there’s a professional association that allows undergraduate student members in nearly every field—from construction management to French literature, from neuroscience to East Asian studies, from anthropology to entrepreneurship? ?
Did you also know that many colleges offer conference presentation funding to their undergraduates? And that faculty are expected to workshop their research at academic conferences annually??
ACADEMIC CONFERENCES: GRADUATE SCHOOL
If you’re a working professional, see if your employer will fund research conference attendance for you. It’s resume building for you, engagement with top faculty, scholars, practitioners and leaders in your field, plus a potential PR push for them as well as some employee retention points.
Let’s say your field is psychology, a popular field for Top Tier Admissions students. Here are some sample academic conferences this upcoming year that would be worth exploring:

If you’re seeking to boost the research section of your resume or CV, pursuing an academic conference this year would be a great goal. With a research grant, it’s a win-win: lower travel expenses, conference experience, and a research award for your resume.
We’d love to help research conferences (or publication outlets!) in YOUR field that you could attend, present at and perhaps even win a research grant award for. Believe it or not, that’s PART of the graduate school admissions process. Reach out to us!
