Event Information

All HTCC Student Research Conference activities will take place in the Conference Center that is part of the UCI Student Center Building Map. Please park in the Student Center Parking Structure (located on the corner of Pereira Dr. and West Peltason). Note that there is an $10 per vehicle fee (for both this and ecological reasons, we highly recommend carpooling or using public transportation whenever possible). The Student Center is just across Pereira Dr. (building 113 in the red area near the top of this map). You will also see HTCC directional signs to the conference venue from the parking area.

The HTCC annual student research conference gives students in community college honors programs the opportunity to present the results of their work. We invite research-based presentations and creative performances reflecting inquiry into the humanities, sciences, arts, social sciences and pre-professional programs; we also welcome results of research into the honors experience.

Presenting your work at the HTCC Student Research Conference makes you eligible not only for monetary awards but also to submit your work for publication in the HTCC anthology Building Bridges, published through the University of California, Irvine. The deadline to submit abstracts for publication is generally about 2-3 weeks after the conference.

PRESENTATION FORMATS INCLUDE:

1. Research Poster Research posters displayed in the Pacific Ballroom in the Student Center; poster creators are on-hand during designated poster presentation sessions to discuss their research with the public
2. Individual Oral 12-minute presentation followed by 5 minutes of discussion
3. Small Group Oral 20-minute panel presentation by two presenters, followed by 10 minutes of discussion
4. Large Group Oral 40-minute panel of three or more participants, followed by 10 minutes of discussion
5. Performance

Student-created art, music, creative writing, drama, dance performed and incorporating an explicit research component.

Notes:

  • Students may present a maximum of one individual presentation or performance AND one group presentation or performance AND one poster presentation.  No two presentations may be on the same topic. 
  • Computers will be available but will not have Internet access.  You are encouraged to use PowerPoint ONLY if you creatively exploit its visual potential in a manner that enhances your presentation.  See technology and presentation guidelines for more information, and consult with your mentor and Honors Program coordinator about what will work best for your presentation.
