|
|
BUT FIRST, REGION VII NEEDS YOUR
SESSION PROPOSALS!
REGULAR Session Presentations Are:
the essence of our conference and your chance to showcase your knowledge, ideas, initiatives, approaches, challenges and successes
can be presented solo, by 2-3 peers, as a panel or discussion
considered for the "Regional Highlight" which automatically go to the NAFSA Conference
Deadline to submit proposal: June 15th
POSTER Session Presentations Are:
a wonderful way to engage one-on-one with attendees.
allow you to receive direct eye-level, handshake, verbal feedback.
are less intimidating and more personal than traditional sessions.
a great way to provide newcomers confidence, experience and contacts.
an efficient way to showcase more specific data, methods, pedagogy, and programs in a smaller, visual, "elevator speech" approach. Handouts are welcome!
Deadline to submit proposal: July 14th
WHAT IS A SESSION PROPOSAL?
Proposals are snapshot abstracts of your ideas with a simply stated overview and learning objectives. Develop the full presentation after notification of selection. Good sessions from state conferences and NAFSA are welcome.
