Harriet L. Wilkes
Honors College
Symposium
for Research and
Creative Projects
Friday, April 15, 2005
The Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College of Florida Atlantic University is celebrating the academic achievements of its students, and particularly those students in the Class of 2005, with its third annual Symposium for Research and Creative Projects. Many Wilkes Honors College students are engaged in interesting research and creative activities, including their senior thesis projects. The Symposium showcases honors students and their projects in a one-day event that includes a series of concurrent talks and a poster session.
Honors College students with completed or ongoing research and/or creative works are invited to participate by submitting abstracts for 15-minute talks, poster presentations, or both.
Abstracts: Abstracts of 150 words or less, together
with the type of presentation (poster or paper), title, and author(s) must be
received by Sunday, March 27th.
Detailed instructions for submission and an abstract submission form (in
MS Word format) are available here. Please use the abstract form provided, and
email completed forms to Dr. Fitchett (sfitchet@fau.edu).
Additional information
for Posters:
Guidelines for posters, as well as a poster template (in Power Point
format) are available here. Please use the poster template for all
posters. The final version of your
poster must be submitted by Thursday, April 7th, for printing. The Honors College will print ONE poster for
each accepted poster abstract, and presenters will be
able to examine their posters before putting them up on Friday. Poster printings beyond the first will cost
$25 each.
Additional information
for Papers: Papers
(talks) will be 15 minutes long, with 5 minutes for questions between
successive talks. Papers may be read,
or talks may be given using Power Point or transparencies and an overhead
projector. Suggestions for preparing
scientific talks are available at here.
Professional Courtesy: Please keep in mind that if you submit an abstract for a paper or poster, you are committing to making a presentation at the Symposium. Backing out of a talk at a conference is unacceptable in the academic world, except in cases of absolute emergency. When papers are withdrawn after acceptance, some professional organizations will bar the contributor from making another presentation for two years. The Honors College Symposium will be a professional conference, and presenters are expected to treat it as such.
Abstracts for all presenters: Sunday, March 27th
Power Point files for Posters: Thursday, April 7th
