The Chat with Leaders event is a student tradition at the SRCD Biennial Meetings. This event provides a forum for students to interact with senior scholars who have central roles in the field of child development and the Society. Various sessions are available Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
Up to five graduate students will be seated at each senior scholars’ table to share conversation and a meal. Before the meeting, these young scholars will have the opportunity to send one or two questions to the senior scholar with whom they are scheduled to meet.
You must pre-register for the SRCD 2025 Chat with Leaders Session in order to participate. This event is only open to Student and Early Career attendees.
