The conference offered faculty, graduate students and selected undergraduate students an opportunity to present their research in a formal academic setting while interacting with scholars from around the country.
Faculty mentor Michael Knievel and graduate student mentor Jennifer Waluta, departments of English and Communication and Journalism, directed Pham's work.
