MMUF-SSRC Graduate Student Summer Conference

Since its inception in 1993, the Graduate Student Summer Conference has been the flagship event of the SSRC's Mellon Mays Graduate Initiatives program. Mellon fellows in their first through third years of graduate school, along with graduating seniors who have been accepted into qualifying PhD programs, are eligible to attend; fellows may attend the event twice during their years of eligibility.

The 2014 Summer Conference will be held June 23-26 at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. The Summer Conference includes workshops and plenary sessions on successfully navigating graduate school and introduces fellows to the national community of MMUF fellows. This year's conference will be especially exciting as it coincides with the celebrations for the 25th anniversary of MMUF, including a Silver Anniversary Gala at the High Museum of Art. For more information, please visit the SSRC's website.

Registration is now open.  MMUF fellows may register by logging into the application portal: http://ssrc.mellon.org/ before March 10. Unfortunately, no exceptions can be made to the March 10 deadline. Even if fellows are unsure of summer plans, we encourage them to register and immediately send a follow-up email advising us of any changes that may interfere with participation.

The MMUF-SSSRC Graduate Initiatives Program covers the cost of travel, meals, and accommodations for the conference.

Please feel free to the SSRC staff at mellonmays@ssrc.org with any questions. We look forward to seeing many of you in June!
