• In alignment with Wake Forest University’s commitment to cultivate an inclusive environment and to support perspectives from multiple areas, financial support is designated for the WISE Conference through full & partial conference registration grants, which cover only the cost of registration for the general WISE Conference or a Conference Workshop. Grant recipients and/or their institution are responsible for all other costs related to the conference (travel, non-included meals, accommodations, incidentals). It is best to register for WISE after you receive a decision about your grant application.
• If your institution/organization has six or more attendees participating in WISE Conference, we offer one complimentary registration to someone from your institution. We are also able to provide an invoice for registration costs. Contact wiseconference@wfu.edu for details.
