MACOMB/MOLINE, IL – The Western Illinois University Justice, Inclusion, Diversity and Equity (JIDE) Office and the Illinois Political Science Association (IPSA) extend heartfelt gratitude to Refreshment Services Pepsi of Macomb for their generous donation of soft drinks for participants at the upcoming annual conference. This year's conference will take place on Saturday, Nov. 9 in Moline at WIU-Quad Cities and will focus on crucial themes of election outcomes and interdisciplinary research on JIDE.
Carl Ervin and the Western Illinois University's JIDE Office are co-sponsoring this significant event and the support from Refreshment Services Pepsi reinforces the spirit of community partnership that we cherish. The commitment to providing refreshments for our participants enhances the conference experience and encourages meaningful discussions among scholars and practitioners alike.
"Donations from dedicated community partners like Refreshment Services Pepsi go a long way in helping our organization minimize conference registration and a la carte costs for our attendees, many of whom are students. We pride ourselves on being among the most financially accessible conferences for emergent social science researchers in Illinois, and we are grateful for the help," IPSA President Casey LaFrance said.
All interested parties are invited to submit proposals for the conference, which can cover a range of topics related to politics and society. Proposals can be sent to ipsaproposals@gmail.com.
"A special thanks to our local Pepsi distributor for being a great team player and for their ongoing support of our initiatives. We look forward to another successful conference, strengthened by community partnerships and shared dedication to advancing political science and social issues," LaFrance said.
