Second Annual
Student Research Conference
Friday, April 18, 2008

Undergraduate and graduate students are invited to submit proposals to present completed research papers/projects, research-in-progress, or roundtable discussions on any topic related to the academic disciplines in the Wilder School. Students from other colleges and universities in and around Virginia are being invited to submit proposals as well. VCU faculty and possible experts from other institutions will chair the research panels and serve as discussants; each presenter will have 10-15 minutes to speak.
This is your chance to share your interests with faculty and other students, to gain experience presenting your work in a professional conference environment, and to receive useful and constructive feedback on your research.
Proposals should contain your name and e-mail address, your school or major, the title of your proposed presentation, and three to four sentences describing your work.
The deadline for submissions is Monday, March 24, 2008. Please e-mail your submissions to wilder.student.conference@gmail.com. Those selected to participate will be notified by e-mail on Friday, March 28.
The one-day conference will also include a seminar on internships and careers in government and public affairs, a seminar on applying to law and graduate schools, and a conference banquet with a prominent keynote speaker.
There is no fee for participation in the conference. If you have questions, please contact Chris Saladino at cjsaladino@vcu.edu.
