HISTORY OF DUAL CAREER CONFERENCES
1990's: Purdue University held a small gathering of dual career practitioners which served as the impetus for forming an annual conference.
2003: The University of Iowa’s Dual Career Network (DCN) hosted the Dual Career Programs International Conference on April 25, 2003.
Eighteen participants from 16 universities in the U.S. and Canada met to collaborate and share the challenges of assisting dual career couples in securing employment.The major goals of this conference were to establish benchmark practices among existing programs and provide universities without programs with information on current trends and practices. A questionnaire was distributed prior to the conference to dual career programs across the country. The results of that survey were published in the CUPA HR Journal (Fall/Winter 2003, Vol. 54, No. 3). (You may view that here: CUPA Article). Since 2003, there has been an annual dual career program conference.
