Graduate Student Leadership Conference (applications for 2022 are open!)

ASA Awards | CSSA Awards | SSSA Awards

The ACS Graduate Student Committee will host the Graduate Student Leadership Conference in conjunction with the ASA, CSSA, and SSSA International Annual Meeting. This conference provides professional and leadership development to graduate students, and will include sessions on networking, professional etiquette, leadership, and oral and written communication.

The conference begins on Saturday with skills building and networking, and continues on Sunday with leadership sessions that will lay the foundation for your week. It then moves into a design-your-own experience that allows you to get the most out of the leadership conference while still getting the most out of your week at the Annual Meeting.
