The Hutton Honors College
presents
the 2013 Annual IUB
Undergraduate
Symposium and Research Fair
Saturday, April 13th, 9:00-5:00
Deadline for abstracts &
proposals March 1st, 2013
The Hutton Honors College
invites proposals and abstracts for our annual symposium and research
fair. The symposium is to be held on Saturday, April 13th, in the Hutton
Honors College building (811 East 7th Street) from 9-5. Students who
choose to present papers at the symposium will be asked to speak for fifteen
minutes on their work, with a five minute Q&A to follow. Each
presenter will be included on a panel of students working in a similar field of
study. Most years the topics include sociology, international issues,
science, psychology, health care, arts and humanities, but every year the
topics vary somewhat according to the abstracts submitted. A schedule of
sessions will be forthcoming in March. The poster fair will also be held
on Saturday, April 13th. Students are invited to present both a paper
and/or poster; presentations of both a paper and poster are welcome. All
IU undergraduates are invited to participate in these two events, and all IU
faculty and students will be invited to attend. The Hutton Honors College
will hold workshops for students who would like to know more about paper or
poster presentations. Students are encouraged to present on work that is not
yet complete! If you are writing a paper for a class, or conducting
research for your thesis or a lab project, present your work and learn from the
feedback you receive before completing your work. It will help guide your
thinking as you work toward completion.
Whether you choose to present a
paper at the symposium or a poster at the fair, or would like to participate in
both events, we welcome one page abstracts by March 1st. Abstract
samples, a template, the application and instructions can be found on our
website: http://www.indiana.edu/~iubhonor/.
If you choose to participate in both events, you will just submit one
abstract. Also, be sure you have a faculty mentor for your project, as
they will be asked to sign off on your abstract. Abstracts should be submitted
to the dropbox on the website hhcrs@indiana.edu
by March 1st.
The symposium and fair are open
to all disciplines, including (but not limited to): visual and performing arts,
humanities, social and behavioral sciences, public affairs, natural and
physical sciences, mathematics, business and economics, education, and nursing.
This is a great opportunity to let others see the valuable work you have
accomplished, and to see what other students in a variety of fields are
exploring here at IU. It is also a great chance for you to perfect your
presentation skills and receive valuable feedback from faculty and interested
colleagues. Don’t miss this opportunity for professional experience!
We look forward to hearing from
you, and more importantly, to seeing the results of your efforts!
