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.
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. |

Issues Forum |
The Issues Forum is a special session dedicated to oral presentations on a current themed topic. This year's Issues Forum will be devoted to research presentations based on the bestseller The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. (See Detailed Instructions Here.) |
| 6. |
Performance |
Student-created art, music,
creative writing, drama, dance
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.
PowerPoint rarely improves a small-group lecture. We urge you not to use PowerPoint to outline points; rather, use PowerPoint only if you creatively exploit its visual potential.
- If you plan to use a computer, you must bring your own laptop and projector! |
