What is the Kelly Conference?

The Edward F.

This year the conference consists of two main components: A professional development workshop and presentations of student research. Conference proceedings are published annually.

The Edward F. Kelly Conference originated at the University at Albany in 1987 in commemoration of beloved former faculty member Ed Kelly.

The conference continues his commitment to providing authentic learning and research experiences to graduate students today.
