Student presenters will also need their presentation title, abstract, presentation type (poster, oral, or performance\/demonstration), T-shirt size and faculty advisor information including their name, department, institution and email address.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/research\/student\/conference\/faq\/form-sample\/\">See Student Research Conference Registration Form Sample<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-4cdedba340e6f3e6e8c0ca8a68fe5eaf\"><strong>Will my submission be accepted?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your registration form will be accepted as long as it is submitted before the deadline, includes an abstract of your work, and identifies a faculty advisor. You will receive an email confirmation once it has been submitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-f73ce9a0e092d1810ac36cf5556c54cf\"><strong>Can I present more than one project?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may submit more than one project. However, please note that depending on how many presentations are accepted and the limited amount of time for this event, the committee reserves the right to only accept one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-ec6e39eca34eae0b8da300f55af25e5a\"><strong>Can presentations have more than one author?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Where a group project is involved,<strong> only one registration form needs to be completed<\/strong>, with all author names included on that single form. Please coordinate with your other authors and only submit one registration form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-3bf0e97ac1dfd0c2f22f72877ad6c0b8\"><strong>Do I need to submit a full research paper or just an abstract?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Presenters are only required to submit an abstract of the project during registration. However, if you would like your paper included in the conference journal, you must also provide an electronic copy after the event (the submission link will be provided after the conference).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-6f11dda28c323fba29a076e8acf7b189\"><strong>How long should my abstract be?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We ask that abstracts be no longer than 300 words. <a href=\"https:\/\/urca.msu.edu\/abstract-samples\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here to view sample abstracts<\/a> (credit to the University of Wisconsin-Madison Writing Center)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-a52d86ef2e33e34a42b9fd75ab07e9bf\"><strong>Will I have an opportunity to be published?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes.

Scheduling presentation times are based on available time slots and presentation themes. Because of these and other constraints, we cannot accommodate individual requests for specific schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-ae81d9ca484deaed18e39a19143a1248\"><strong>Can I request to do a virtual presentation?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless other noted, this event is in-person.

Oral presenters will be provided with a utility cart, which includes a computer directly linked to a projector. PowerPoint presentations are the most common way to conduct oral presentations. We ask that you save your presentation to a USB drive&nbsp;<em>and&nbsp;<\/em>email a copy&nbsp;<\/span>to yourself. Moderators will be assigned to each room to introduce each speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-5dc3a12634257dea5e00f81fd34599e1\"><strong>How long do I have to present?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Poster presenters will have one hour to present their posters. During that time, please stand near your poster to engage any spectators. However, you are also welcome to visit other posters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oral presenters, performers, and demonstrators will have 15 minutes to present. Please prepare a presentation for approximately 12 minutes and count on two to three minutes of questions from audience members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-1eefd09d7c62b04a9ec9f88399d131c4\"><strong>I am unable to present. What should I do?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you cannot present or find a replacement to present for you, contact Andre Louis at alouis@umich.edu and Mary Deibis at mdeibis@umich.edu. We will inform the moderator of your session or the person responsible for setting up the poster that you cannot present. Please know that signing up to present represents a commitment on your part. Much effort is taken to coordinate an event like this with the expectation that you will be attending. Unless you absolutely must withdraw for reasons beyond your control, you are encouraged to present if you have signed up to do so.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/research\/student\/conference\/faq\/\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":38,"featured_media":0,"parent":119,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-497","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/38"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=497"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/497\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":963,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/497\/revisions\/963"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/119"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
