Call for Abstracts Starting Jan 11, 2010
This event is intended to provide a unique opportunity for students to present academic research, visual art, and other forms of creative expression as undergraduates, and to generate a common forum for university wide communication among faculty and students. A certificate of presentation will be given to the presenters.
SOURCE will take place Friday Apr 16, 2010. All students are required to submit an abstract summarizing their presentation. Abstracts for oral presentations are due Friday, Feb 19, 2010 (5:00 pm) and abstracts for poster presentations are due by Friday, Mar 05, 2010 (5:00 pm). Students will be informed of the status of their applications within approximately one week after the submission deadline. To submit your abstract, please fill out the call for abstracts submission form (Login with SEU username and password required).
Format of Abstracts:
An abstract consists of 1-3 paragraphs containing less than 250 words. The function of the abstract is to allow readers to decide if the topic of the talk, poster, or visual presentation is of interest to them. Keep these brief yet informational. Do not assume that everyone who reads the abstract is well informed on the subject. Write your abstract for as broad a readership as possible, considering the length constraints you must observe.
The abstract is the one document that you write which will be made available to the world via the SOURCE program booklet and the web. Consequently, you should pay special attention to the preparation of this document. It is this document that will attract people to hear your talk/presentation. Abstracts will be posted at this web site shortly after Easter. An example abstract is provided as a model for formatting and layout.
