Call for Presentations:
The NAGPS regional conferences are designed to serve as a forum where student leaders come together to share best practices.

Topics can be as varied as:
[list type=circle_list]- Advocacy
- Activism, volunteerism, and service
- Graduate funding
- Graduate student leadership
- Health, wellness, and student welfare
- Professional development
- Strategic Planning
- Communications
Achievements and Challenges:
At the South Central Regional Conference, we like to highlight the most significant achievements and challenges experienced by our members over the past year. Learning about your peers can be inspiring and empowering. We’d like to ask every school who participates in the conference to prepare a brief (5-10 minute) Achievements and Challenges presentation.
