Student Journal Symposium for Literary and Research Publications 2025

The Student Journal Symposium for Literary and Research Publications aims to foster dialogue and collaboration among undergraduate and graduate student-led journals.

The 2nd Student Journal Symposium, to be held May 2, 2025, offers opportunities for students, faculty, and administrators interested or involved in student publications to engage in interactive workshops and roundtable conversations, hear from plenary speakers and student panelists, and connect with fellow university journals in the DC area, throughout the United States, and internationally. We hope to foster conversation on best editorial, leadership, and community practices and discover how to support student publications. Topics will include sustainable leadership, ethics, diversity, grants, partnerships, navigating AI in submissions, and other topics.

The 2nd Symposium will be held as a hybrid event on Friday, May 2, 2025, 9:00 am-4:30 pm EDT, at the City View Room, on George Washington University’s Foggy Bottom Campus, and virtually via Zoom. The event is free; pre-registration is required (RSVP will be available soon on Eventbrite.)
