Submitting a Conference Proposal
Deadline: February 15, 2008
Frequently Asked Questions:
What topics or themes do you suggest?
We hope that the Conference theme will inspire your thinking. In addition, while not an exhaustive list, here are some specific areas of interest you might consider:
Campus trends, specific populations, campus climate issues
Advising approaches and practices, student systems and informational technology
Collaborations and Teamwork: networking, individual and organizational wellness and renewal
Professional & U.C. Career Development
What choices of session format do I have?
Presentation (single presenter or panel) - A session in which presenter(s) share information, followed by question and answer or discussion.
Workshop - An interactive and/or activity-based session.
Roundtable - A discussion-based session in which presenters' comments stimulate audience/presenter interaction. The session may include guiding questions for the presenters, and/ or a facilitator.
Poster - A visual display showcasing a program, research project or current advising issue. Posters may be submitted alone or in conjunction with a Presentation, Workshop or Roundtable.
How long are the sessions?
Presentations and Roundtables are 75 minute sessions.
Most Workshops will also be 75 minute sessions, with a limited number of 2-hour time slots for sessions involving the audience in extended discussion and/or activity.
Posters will be on display throughout the conference (no formal presentation scheduled).
Should I plan to use my own computer, a/v or other equipment?
In general, yes. We will expect you to provide your own computer, projector, or other equipment for your session, both to control costs for the conference and because using equipment you are familiar with prevents unhappy surprises. If there is equipment that you need but do not have access to we might be able to arrange for it, though there may be a charge involved.
I want to submit my proposal but don't have all my presenters' names. Can I update my proposal at a later date?
Yes! Please do submit your proposal. You will be able to log back in to make changes or update information via the "List/Edit My Proposals" link.
When will I hear back from you?
You will get an automatic e-mail confirming your proposal has been submitted. Decisions regarding proposals will be communicated by March 1st. If the proposal selection committee has questions or needs more information we will contact you sooner.
Other questions not covered here? Please e-mail Elizabeth Keithley or Luisa Giulianetti
