27th McKnight Annual Fellows Meeting & 15th Annual Graduate School Conference

On October 21-23, 2011, over 300 McKnight Fellows and professors will meet in Tampa for our 27th McKnight Annual Fellows Meeting and 15th Annual Graduate School Conference. We invite you to participate as an exhibitor and recruiter at the Conference.



Founded in 1984, today the McKnight Doctoral Fellowship Program supports record numbers of African American and Hispanic students through innovative practices designed to help fully cultivate their talents and expertise. The Annual Fellows Meeting is just one in a series of conferences* that inform, train, and connect our Doctoral Fellows, complemented by year-round online workshops and an annual research and writing institute. Our continuing efforts to evaluate and refine the Doctoral Program support system contribute to the development of scholars who are among the brightest in the nation, highly motivated and prepared to meet the divergent needs of communities, academia, and industry.


Don’t take our word for it. Come see for yourself October 21st through 23rd.


At this year’s Meeting, we will feature a “Dialogue with Exhibitors” dinner on Saturday, October 22nd. Here you will be able to meet and mingle with potential faculty members and industry experts from the Program’s current doctoral students, recent graduates, and established professionals. Other compelling benefits of this recruitment opportunity include:
• Exhibition space available for the duration of the Conference.
• Multiple networking opportunities, enhanced by:
   o entrĂ©e to all additional Conference events and plenary sessions and
   o receipt of a diskette containing curriculum vitae and resumes of select Fellows and graduates
• The chance to observe our doctoral students and professors during formal and informal discussions that elucidate their research interests, strengths, and expertise.


To receive these benefits, click here and complete the Exhibitor Registration Form, indicating your preferred participation level. Please note, of the three levels described on the form, Plan B includes the most opportunities to interact with Doctoral Fellows.


A summary of the 2011 program will be available shortly. If you have questions, please call us at (813) 272-2772.


*Another McKnight meeting which may interest you is the Mid-Year Research and Writing Conference in February. It is distinguished by its panels of matriculating McKnight Fellows who present their research for critique by established scholars in a public forum. The Mid-Year Conference is smaller than the October Annual Fellows Meeting, and its focus on student research and presentation will provide further opportunities to learn more about our Fellows’ research interests, strengths, and expertise.

If you want more information about attending the 2012 McKnight Mid-Year Research and Writing Conference, please contact us at the number above.
