Jakobsen Conference
The 12th Annual James F. Jakobsen Graduate Conference will be held Saturday, March 27, 2010 in the Iowa Memorial Union!
The call for abstracts will be sent December 2009.
The James F. Jakobsen Graduate Conference was established in 1998 (known as the Jakobsen Forum at that time) and is a truly unique University of Iowa event. Through the generous contributions from the Jakobsen Family, Graduate College, and local businesses, Graduate Student Senate is able to bring you a local venue in which to present your research and graduate work.
The Jakobsen Conference is a local conference, currently only for University of Iowa graduate students, and is entirely run by fellow graduate students in GSS. The conference is held every Spring semester and provides a forum for oral, poster, and performance presentations. The Conference has experienced growth in participation and attendance over the last few years. We anticipate the same trend for the future and may even extend the conference to include an exhibition area, vendors, and additional resources for graduate students.
The Call for Submissions will be sent via email and advertisements around campus. All necessary information is available on this website including the electronic application and judging criteria. Browse the pages on the left that represent your academic division. If you are unsure of your department's representation, you can look up the official members on the membership page.
Thank you and we'll see you at the conference! Be sure to browse the abstract archive from previous conferences and pictures on the photos page.
