Please notify your Honors Director if you would like to be considered as a speaker.

NB: 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 using a computer, you must bring your own laptop and projector!

Submissions Deadline:

Submit your conference Registration and Application Form, which includes your 30-word Proposal Description and 100-word Abstract, to your mentor professor on the date he or she sets for you, probably in

early December.

Doing so will allow you enough time for revisions

so that your honors director can give you a final review and approval

no later than

 15 December 2008
