This mini-conference, hosted by the Honors Program and open to all Miami students, will target oral paper presentations, grouped thematically into panels, and alternative forms and methods of presentation. We are accepting abstracts that relate to any topic of undergraduate scholarly pursuit, but possible topics for presentation could include:

HOW TO CONDUCT UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH • RESEARCH IN THE ARTS AND SCIENCES • RESEARCH IN BUSINESS • RESEARCH IN EDUCATION • CREATIVE FINE ARTS PRESENTATIONS • RESEARCH IN THE HUMANITIES • SPEECH OR MOCK TRIAL PRESENTATIONS • RESEARCH METHODOLOGY • SOCIAL ACTIVISM OR VOLUNTEER WORK

If you are interested in these possibilities, please contact Jason Young (youngjc2@muohio.edu) with your ideas. The format will be as follows:

Panels, Discussions, and Performances
If you would like to organize a specific panel, round table discussion, or performance session, please provide a session title, short description of the session, and contact information for all participants. Titles and abstracts for individual contributions (where relevant) should also be provided. Sessions are allotted a maximum of 90 minutes.

Paper Presentations
Paper presenters should submit a paper title, abstract, and contact information. Papers will be thematically placed in a 90-minute panel; each panel will include 4 presenters. Each presenter will be allotted 15 minutes for their presentation, plus 5 minutes for questions and answers. Panel rooms will be provided with projectors for PowerPoint presentations; please let us know if you have other technology requirements.

If you are interested in presenting your work, but would like a format that is more inclusive of alternative means of presentation please consider contacting us. Again, send your inquiries to Jason Young at youngjc2@muohio.edu. The deadline for all submissions is February 28, 2009. Thank you for your interest.
