MIDWEST SCHOLARS CONFERENCE
In an attempt to further a sense of community among faculty and administrators across disciplines and institutions, we have created the Midwest Scholars Conference. It is purposely broadly constructed so that scholars may seek knowledge from those both inside and outside of their disciplines, in the same manner that scientists and philosophers met together in the philosophical and scientific societies of early America.
Join us and partake in the discussions provided by the numerous academic disciplines which we as scholars only rarely have a chance to enjoy!
This year's conference date is: Friday, March 6, 2009
