帝王会所

Honors at 帝王会所 is hosting our second annual conference for honors students鈥� work in progress. Submissions for presentation proposals are now open! The deadline to submit proposals is Tuesday, February 25, 2025.

So much great work is created through a process; that process might involve questioning, discovering, retooling and navigating challenges. This conference celebrates the journey of creative, research and community engagement. We welcome complete and developing presentations on research projects, community engagement and creative activities. Projects can range from those just starting/in development to those with conclusions and results ready to present. Some examples include a research study on water quality, an exploration of how you are preparing for a musical performance or reflections on your leadership of a student group.

Our theme this year is "The Big Picture." Each presentation should address the broader cultural, environmental, political, scientific and/or social contexts that make your project relevant to an audience of your peers. Your presentation should also share the methods you're using or considering to explore these issues, and any challenges you have encountered or anticipate along the way.

This conference celebrates multidisciplinary connections; we welcome undergraduate students of all years, fields and majors. We especially encourage first-year honors students to attend and/or present works in progress to help connect with other students, faculty and staff with similar interests. Presentations will be grouped into panels on related topics across disciplines. In addition, presenters will have the opportunity to hone their presentation skills in advance through preparatory workshops.

Prizes will be awarded at the conference for creative questions and innovative ideas.

To apply: submit your proposal to ohp.con.progress@gmail.com by February 25, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. EST. Include the subject line: "CFP Submission (your last name)"

We welcome presentations between 7-10 minutes using PowerPoint or similar formats.
