2008 Hutton Honors College Symposium & Research Fair

The Hutton Honors College presents
the 2008 Annual IUB Undergraduate
Symposium and Research Fair
April 6th & 9th

Deadline for abstracts & proposals Feb 1st, 2008
Submit to Assistant Dean Lynn Cochran(lcochran@indiana.edu)

The Hutton Honors College invites proposals and abstracts for our annual symposium and research fair. The symposium is to be held on Sunday, April 5th, at the Indiana Memorial Union from 9-5. Students who choose to present papers at the symposium will be asked to speak for ten minutes on their work, with a five minute Q&A to follow. Each presenter will be included on a panel of other students working in a similar field of study. Last year the topics included sociology, international issues, business & economics, science, the humanities & social sciences, and medicine & psychology. Every year the topics vary somewhat according to the abstracts submitted. A schedule of sessions will be forthcoming in March. The research fair poster session will be held Wednesday, April 9th, in the Frangipani Room from 7-9 pm. Students will present posters describing the projects they have been working on. This year we hope to have judges for the first time for the poster fair. 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.

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 Feb 1st; please be sure to indicate whether you are interested in presenting a paper and/or a poster. If you choose to participate in both events, you will just submit one abstract. Please let me know at your earliest convenience if you will be submitting an abstract this year and we will send you an abstract template to make your submission easier. Also, be sure you have a faculty mentor for your project, as they will be asked to sign off on your abstract.

The symposium and fair are open to all disciplines, including (but not limited to): visual and performing arts, humanities, 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 been doing during the past year, 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!
