Student Journal Symposium

The Student Journal Symposium for Literary and Research Publications is an annual symposium of undergraduate and graduate student-led journals. Our goal is to foster conversation on best editorial, leadership, and community practices and discover how to support student publications. Topics include sustainable leadership, funding and support for student-led journals, inclusion, technology, accessibility, navigating AI in submissions and workflows, and more. This event is a chance for students, faculty, librarians, administrators, and others interested in student publications to engage in interactive workshops and round-table conversations, hear from plenary speakers, presenters, and panelists, and connect with fellow university journals in the DC area, nationally, and internationally. The second annual Student Journal Symposium will be held May 1-2, 2025, as a hybrid event.
