2024 ACC MEETING OF THE MINDS CONFERENCE
CALL FOR PROPOSALS
The University of Notre Dame is excited to host the 18th Annual ACC Meeting of the Minds Conference, April 5-7, 2024, on our campus! This is an opportunity for undergraduate students from universities of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) to present their work in a professional setting and share their work with peers. Research will be presented as posters, oral presentations or performances. More information on the conference will be provided when it becomes available.
