Hello ACAA Colleagues,
I hope everyone is doing well and is looking forward to the start of Fall term!
I am writing on behalf of the ACAA Professional Development committee to tell you about our Fall event, Writing Your Conference Proposal, which will take place on October 22nd from 2-4pm in Lillis 440.
This event is part of our Practice to Presentation series that we began last year and which will culminate in Winter term with the UO Advising Conference. However, it is not at all required that you have attended any of our previous events!
Please RSVP by Friday, October 10th by filling out this short form. We will send a calendar invite to the folks who are able to attend.
In this workshop, we will be discussing how to craft a successful conference presentation proposal. We will discuss common elements of successful proposals, different formats for conference presentations in higher ed, proposal evaluation rubrics and review processes, and more! We will also be working through some activities designed to get participants thinking about crafting a proposal of their own, either for the upcoming UO Advising Conference or for a regional or national conference. Even if you don’t have a particular topic or conference in mind, we hope that this workshop will help you think through some ideas and possibilities of things you could propose in the future.
If you have started thinking about a presentation you would like to propose, please feel free to bring any drafts or ideas to the event! There will be space to discuss proposals that are at any stage of the process.
Finally, we are excited to be able to offer this event with a robust hybrid modality. Virtual participants can expect to be given opportunities to participate in the discussion happening in the room and to have the chance to interact with each other in a virtual space with a dedicated virtual presenter/moderator.
We’re looking forward to seeing many of you in October!
