Conferences & Symposia

Join the DMV Student Journal Symposium for Literary and Research Publications, the first of a proposed annual symposium of undergraduate and graduate student-led journals. This event is a chance for anyone interested in student publications to engage in interactive workshops and roundtable conversations, hear from panel discussions and a plenary speaker, and connect with fellow university journals in the DC area. The symposium fosters conversation on best editorial, leadership, and community practices and discover how to support student publications. Topics will include sustainable leadership, ethics, diversity, and navigating AI in submissions. 

Join this panel conversation with speakers Dalia Ziada and Dr. Einat Wilf. With an emphasis on challenging assumptions, and engaging in respectful, action-oriented, future looking dialogue, this event is hosted by the Fact Based Discourse Initiative, part of the Ed Snider Center for Enterprise and Markets.

Join OpenAI Education for a virtual talk featuring ACES program director Michel Cukier and fellow UMD faculty member Pam Orel. They will each give two 15-minute TED-style talks about how they use AI to transform learning in their disciplines. Attendees will discover practical AI strategies, gain cross-disciplinary insights, and leave inspired to apply AI in their teaching. This session is designed for professors, administrators, university leadership, and curriculum designers.
