A chance for undergraduate students from ALL disciplines and programs to share their work...research, artwork, innovative projects, papers, exhibitions, etc.

Conference takes place March 28-29th, 2014

WHAT IS THE UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT CONFERENCE?

WHAT DOES IT INVOLVE? Poster session and lectures If giving a lecture, 3 students will each present for 15

minutes, and then all 3 will take audience questions for another 15 minutes

This is a supportive environment

The conference committee will be offering a variety of workshops to help presenters prepare, including sessions on public speaking

Sessions are moderated - meaning someone is on hand to help guide the question period

NERVOUS?

HOW DO I CHOOSE WHAT TO PRESENT?

①Present a paper or project that went well in the Fall semester, or something you’re doing now that will be ready by late March

②Work with your instructor to strengthen it and turn it into a presentation

③Ask a faculty member to sign your proposal

Volunteers are needed

Presenters are sometimes students who volunteered the previous year and who now want to increase their involvement; volunteering is a good way to see how the conference works.
