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!
