21st Annual Student Conference
Thursday, March 25th, 2021
The Association of O'Neill Ph.D. Students (AOPS) invites you to participate in the 21st Annual AOPS Conference. The (virtual) conference will take place on Thursday, March 25th, 2019 via Zoom, courtesy of the O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs, Indiana University, Bloomington.
AOPS' Annual Conference highlights some of the research of current Masters and Ph.D. students. O'Neill's doctoral students have hosted the conference since 2000. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year our conference is completely virtual, featuring a conference kickoff session with Dean Sian Mooney and followed by two different student presentation sessions. Student presentations have been shortened to a total of 10 minutes: seven minutes for the presentation and three for questions.
