PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: UIC Advisor Conference during 12th Annual Advisor Week – Call for Proposal is open!
12th Annual Advisor Week - Conference and Poster Presentations, or Discussion Roundtables:
As promised, it is time for the formal call for Advisor Week proposals….
Advisor Week will be during Spring Break March 18th-22nd and as in years past, will dedicate opportunity to conference presentations, poster presentations, and a discussion roundtable lunch. We cannot wait to hear about the collaborations, creations, and innovations you have ready to share with your UIC advising community. Please review the three available opportunities, select which one best fits your goals, and fill out the official proposal submission form using this link: https://go.uic.edu/advisorconference.
- Conference Presentation: Do you have valuable information to share with the UIC Advising and Coaching Community? A 50-minute presentation by one or more presenters; discussion time for questions and answers is encouraged. Please include all names of the presenters that will be taking part in the presentation. If you choose lecture/discussion, please be specific in your abstract on how much interaction will take place in your session. Generally supported by a slide deck or other audiovisual materials.
- Poster Presentation: For the first timer ever at UIC Advisor Conference, presented in the form of a bulletin display and delivered primarily through the use of graphics and handout materials. These sessions are most appropriate for display of specific programmatic approaches and research findings. The presenter should expect to make brief remarks when approached by attendees, share information, and answer questions about the presentation topic. Neither audiovisual equipment nor internet is available for poster sessions. OAD will help with the production cost of the poster. We will display the posters throughout Advisor Week.
- Discussion Roundtable: Back by popular demand is the discussion roundtable....Do you have a topic that should be discussed among the community? Lead a lunch time roundtable discussion based on the topic you feel is important and relevant. There is no need for formal presentation materials or supporting documents. This is an informal conversation about a topic important to our community. At most, the discussion leader may want to have a few goals for the conversation to provide direction.
