The Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity Symposium Committee is pleased to announce the Call for Abstracts for the Sixth Annual College of Arts and Sciences Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity Symposium. This event will highlight the research, scholarly, and creative activities of students throughout the College of Arts and Sciences, and will be held on Wednesday, April 8, 2015. Please consider submitting your work to the Symposium!
All students
who are declared majors in a program within the College of Arts and Sciences
are invited to participate in this year’s Symposium. Current students, as well as December 2014
graduates, are welcome to present their work.
Presenters may choose to give an oral presentation, poster presentation,
exhibition, or performance. All
presentations should have a significant research or creative component;
examples of such include, but are not limited to, summer research conducted at
Ashland University or elsewhere, results of independent study projects, thesis
work, literary readings or analysis, musical or theatrical performances, and exhibitions
of artwork.
All
abstracts submitted require approval of a faculty sponsor who is familiar with
the student’s work and can attest to the quality of the work. At the time of submission, students will
indicate who their faculty sponsor is. The
URCA Symposium committee will then contact the sponsor via e-mail to confirm
that the sponsor has viewed and approved the abstract. In approving a submission, a faculty sponsor
is indicating that the abstract meets the faculty sponsor’s standard for
professional work, and that the abstract is print-ready. Submissions that have not been approved by
a faculty sponsor will not be accepted for presentation.
Students who
wish to present at the Symposium should contact a College of Arts and Sciences
faculty member who can act as a faculty sponsor. When the project is ready, the student should
work with the faculty sponsor to prepare an abstract in Microsoft Word and
email that Word document to the URCA Symposium Committee at au.urca@gmail.com.
Students must copy their faculty sponsors on the email that contains the
submission. The deadline for submitting abstracts is 5:00 p.m. on Friday,
January 16, 2015. This deadline is
firm.
