Students in all disciplines­the arts, humanities,

    * oral presentations about all academic disciplines

    * viewings of video and film

    * poster presentations about all disciplines

    * displays of sculpture, ceramics – the list goes on and on.

Are you interested? Here is a quick list of the 
steps you must complete to submit your abstract 
and participate in the Symposium.
    * You must be involved in faculty mentored 
research, scholarship or creative projects. This 
means you have worked or are working with a 
faculty member on a research, scholarship or creative project.
    * You must submit an abstract of your project 
describing the project – its specific topic, 
problem, method of inquiry, summary and 
conclusions. Abstracts will differ according to 
disciplines, so work with your faculty mentor while drafting your abstract.
    * You must choose the presentation style that 
best fits your project – oral presentation, 
poster presentation, performance, exhibit or 
display. Presentation style will differ from 
discipline to discipline, so consult with your 
faculty mentor when choosing how you will present your research or project.
    * If you are a part of a group of students 
presenting a project, only one abstract needs to 
be submitted. Include all of the names of the 
student participants in the submission form. The 
same stands for multiple faculty mentors for a 
project; please list all of their names.
    * Abstracts may be submitted from February 2, 
2007 through April 16, 2007. Your faculty mentor 
must approve your abstract before submission. You 
will be asked to verify faculty mentor acceptance.
