The graduate students of the Philosophy M.A. program at Gonzaga University host an annual Graduate Philosophy Conference. The conference offers graduate students the opportunity to present their work to colleagues from institutions across North America (and occasionally points beyond), and gives Gonzaga graduate students professional experience in planning conference events, reviewing scholarly submissions, and administering the conference. Submissions are blind reviewed. The Hutchins Prize, named in honor of Dr. Debby Hutchins, faculty advisor for the conference from 2007-2013 (now on faculty at South Texas College), is awarded to the best paper presented at the conference.
