GRADUATE STUDENT
RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM

Bridgewater State University, May 4, 2012

CALL FOR PROPOSALS: Papers or Posters

Graduate students from Bridgewater State University are invited to submit proposals for the Graduate Student Research Symposium being held this coming April. Sponsored by the College of Graduate Studies, the research symposium is an opportunity for graduate students in all fields to showcase their work and to discuss their findings with other interested scholars. While students are encouraged to present their papers individually or in panels, a poster session will be devoted to a more casual "walk-around" presentation style.

The conference will be held at Bridgewater State University, Bridgewater, MA, on Friday, May 4, 2012, with concurrent sessions running throughout the day from 9:00 to 5:00. These sessions will be grouped thematically around papers, each of which should be from 15 to 20 minutes in length, followed by time for discussion. After the conference, proceedings of the papers will be published. The cost for the symposium, including lunch for the participants, will be covered by the College of Graduate Studies.

Proposals for individual papers, panels or posters drawn from pure or applied research in all fields of graduate study are welcome. Relevant creative work, supported by graduate research, is also welcome. We encourage you to submit your proposal early, and you will then receive early notification in return.

SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS:

Please send an electronic copy of the following pages:

1. A cover sheet that lists the student presenter's name and presentation title;
the presenter's address, phone number, and email address;
the graduate professor for whom the paper was written; and
any audiovisual equipment required for your presentation.

2. A one-page abstract that describes your research presentation. The abstract should explain the goals of your research, your methodology, and your expected findings.

Dr. William S. Smith
