We want to send you a friendly reminder to mark your calendars and start making your plans to join the Journal of Economics Teaching for our summer Symposium on Teaching Economics from August 1–3 in beautiful Blacksburg, Virginia!
This symposium is open to educators from all levels, ranging from K-12 teachers to community colleges and university professors. Every summer we host a series of engaging workshops that will empower you with innovative teaching methods to enhance your economics courses. Whether you’re presenting or just attending, we’d love to have you as part of our community of passionate economics educators!
Are you interested in sharing your insights and expertise? You can submit your presentation abstracts as individuals or as part of a group of presentations. Don't miss the opportunity to showcase your innovative approaches to teaching economics.
Early Acceptance Deadline for Abstracts: April 1st (No Joke!) While the early acceptance deadline for abstracts is April 1st, please know that we will accept papers on a rolling basis after that date. So, don't worry if you need a little extra time to finalize your submission. Submit early to increase your chances of presenting this summer!
Key Actions to Take This Week:
Register for the Conference: Secure your spot today by registering for the conference online. Grad students and K-12 instructors receive a 50% discount on registration by entering the promo code “student” or “K12”, respectively.
Book Your Hotel: Plan your stay by booking your accommodations at the Hyatt Regency. We’ve secured a special conference rate of $159 per night! That rate is good a few days before and after the official conference dates if you want to enjoy the area on your own.
Submit Your Abstract: If you’d like to present at the conference, submit your abstract now! You can submit a single presentation or arrange an entire session with your colleagues. Arranged sessions should have some common theme among presentations.
