Annual Acacia Conference
The Acacia Conference is an annual event held at California State University, Fullerton that welcomes scholars from any discipline, both inside and outside of CSUF, to share their creative work or critical research. Our conference focuses on literature, theory, and pedagogy, offering an opportunity for students of all levels to engage in academic discourse and gain experience at academic conferences.
Below, you will be able to view our current Spring conference theme and access information on submission details. Further down, you will also be able to peruse past years' posters and themes.
