This year, The Indiana local section is partnering with IU for their bicentennial Beyond Borders Event. By submitting your abstract you will also have access to the Beyond Borders symposium, a legacy project of the IU Bicentennial. The event will be held on April 9-10, 2021 and will draw on Indiana University’s over 200 years of leadership in higher education and research by bringing the state’s academic associations together virtually. The symposium will serve as the host of annual meetings for 13 state academic organizations and will provide an online venue for scholars, researchers, students, and professionals to discuss ideas, collaborate, and share their work with others.
