• The AFS Conference will feature speakers, symposia, and several special sessions. Among them, we will introduce a new panel session for PhD students, highlighting how to best navigate the job market.
• With the generous support of our sponsors, the Academy has awarded several best paper awards during past meetings and we anticipate continuing Best Paper awards in 2021.
• We will continue with our Emerging Scholar Award to a current graduate student for promising research work on a paper or poster presented at the conference.
• In addition, in 2021, we will continue with the Program Directors track. The goal is to allow program directors to present and discuss program issues and best practices in a panel environment, such as “Working with Your University’s Foundation”, “Capstone Course Cases: What’s the Right Content?”, “Understanding Career Paths and Student Fit” and “Developing a Passionate Program in a Box: Scholarships, Competitions, Student organizations”. We welcome other panel topics deemed beneficial to program directors.
