> 2014 TPRC | 42nd Research Conference on Communication, Information and Internet Policy
> September 12-14, 2014
> George Mason University School of Law, Arlington, Virginia  
>  
> TPRC will hold its inaugural Graduate Student Consortium on Friday, September 12, 2014, at the George Mason University Law School, immediately preceding the TPRC42 conference September 12 – 14, 2014  
>  
>  
> The Consortium aims to provide graduate students at all levels with opportunities for mentoring by academics, industry, and government leaders, as well as the opportunity to network with other graduate students. Consortium participants will gain insights on research topics of interest to them from the various sectors of the TPRC community.
>  
>  
> The Consortium will be held immediately preceding the TPRC42 Conference. During the three-hour session, students will engage in discussion, receive feedback on their proposed research topic, and interact with fellow graduate students as well as with mentors. Mentors will be leaders from academia, industry, government, and the non-profit sectors, chosen to ensure balance among these multiple perspectives.  
>  
>  
> The Consortium will be highly selective and is open to all persons who are graduate or law students at any level/year during the 2014/2015 school year. Applicants should submit a statement of endorsement from a faculty member at their institution indicating how the student would benefit from participation (the endorsement form will be available for download at the TPRC website). Applications should include this endorsement and a 1500 word (~ 2 pages, single spaced) statement of a research topic, succinctly describing the academic/theoretical, industry, government, and public interest aspects of the problem. The topic can be a new topic, chosen specifically for this context, or an ongoing research area that might benefit from these multiple perspectives. Students may apply for both the Graduate Student Consortium and the Student Paper Competition, although the Consortium selection process will favor those closer to the beginning of their graduate student career.
>  
>  
> Applications, including the faculty endorsement, must be submitted by April 18, 2014, at http://www.tprc.org (http://tprc.us6.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=d9832174c964ecbebbfddfa8c&id=7bd16553c0&e=95b079ebe3). Decisions will be communicated by May 30, 2014. Students accepted to the Consortium will receive free conference registration and meals, but will be responsible for their own travel and lodging.
