iConference 2019 was held last week at the University of Maryland, College Park. The iSchool Inclusion Institute (i3) was well-represented at this year’s iConference. In addition to many i3 students and affiliates in attendance at the conference, we had an impressive 9 papers, 7 posters, and 9 undergraduate symposium attendees!
Feedback from our scholars indicates that iConference is instrumental in building their self-efficacy and sense of belonging as Information Science researchers. Please see our latest newsletter for more information. We are certainly looking forward to iConference 2020 in Sweden!
i3 affiliates are bolded.
