Conference Travel Grants
The Graduate School is proud to support the professional development of graduate students by providing Conference Travel Grants to both Masters and Doctoral students on the Main Campus and Medical Center. These grants have been used towards travel and other expenses associated with participation in professional academic conferences.
CTG recipients have had the privilege of presenting their research at prestigious conferences both domestically and abroad such as the Northeast MLA (NeMLA) conference and the Forum for American-Chinese Exchange Stanford Review.
Nayeli Riano, a second-year Ph.D. student in Political Theory studies who attended the Fall 2021 American Political Science Association (APSA) conference in Seattle, Washington says, “This year was an important year for me to attend my first academic conference and, even more vital for my academic career, to present my first paper at a large-scale conference on a panel with other graduate students and university professors…Conferences are integral parts of being an academic, and I was able to partake in one of the most important conferences in my field without the worry of the costs it would incur thanks to this award.”
The CTG award provides students with the funding that supports unique opportunities to share their research with the world. “I attended the conference as a co-presenter of a study titled ‘The negotiation of shame in diasporic identity in ‘subtle asian traits’: Analyzing discourse on multilingualism on Facebook’”…My attendance at the LIEMC conference this semester was overall an extremely educational experience that benefited both the research I used for presentation and my thesis research,” writes Jungyoon Koh, who presented his research at the Language, Identity, and Education in Multilingual Contexts (LIEMC) Conference in Hague, Netherlands.
