This residency has been cancelled.
This professional conference has been cancelled because of low enrollment. Please see our calendar for other available professional conferences.
Walden University’s Professional Conferences are for advanced Ph.D. students. Instead of fulfilling Milestone 4 at a Walden residency, students may choose to attend a Professional Conference (offered in conjunction with Walden faculty) at any time after completing the Milestone 2 (second) residency. Students who have attended less than two residencies are not eligible to earn residency units at professional conferences.
The School of Public Policy and Administration is pleased to announce the ASPA Professional Conference. The purpose of this professional conference to provide students with the experience of attending a conference and to offer an opportunity to hear current research and trends in public policy and administration.
Residency Requirements
Participation in this professional conference will meet the academic residency requirement for Milestone 4 and is available only to students who have completed Milestones 1 & 2 (two residencies).
To meet the Walden University academic residency requirements, you must register directly with the ASPA annual convention and you must also register for the Walden residency.
The format of the professional conference will be different from a typical residency. At this residency, each student will be required to attend various conference presentations and events that meet their research and career goals as well as specific sessions for Walden students.
