This breakfast roundtable is open to all members, and is organized specifically to facilitate an open discussion about how student members can make the most of their participation in our Urban Affairs Association. We are explicitly motivated to help students use the conference to develop useful network connections and engage in conversations about research with scholars across a variety of disciplines and institutions. Conveners will briefly reflect on their experiences as student members of UAA and suggest strategies that may help students, and then facilitate a student-led conversation about student participation at the conference and membership in the organization.
