Encompassing all aspects of intellectual property, this event will push the envelope on scholarship that develops and analyzes useful and organized data on how intellectual property actually functions or, as suggested by experimental studies, might function. Various invited scholars will be presenting papers or providing comments, but there will also be significant time for questions and answers involving the more general audience.

On Friday, January 31, Heather Jarvis will be speaking about "Public Service Loan Forgiveness in Five Easy Steps" during lunch from noon-1:15 p.m. as part of the Public Service Career Fair.

But the program requirements can be confusing. Heather knows how to break it down step-by-step so it makes sense once and for all. She'll also be discussing the Pay As You Earn Repayment Plan.
