Building on last year’s success, the Community Development Studies & Education Department at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia is again hosting a forum for graduate students pursuing research in the field of community development.

At this event, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a thoughtful dialogue about emerging community development research, network with other graduate students and Fed staff, and learn about the research currently
underway at the Philadelphia Fed.

Graduate students selected to present at this forum will have the opportunity to summarize their research in a new Philadelphia Fed report created specifically for this event!

Registration for students and faculty interested in attending the forum will begin in September, so stay tuned!
