Length of Presentations

All sessions should be designed to be 45 minutes in length with an additional 15 minutes provided for a question and answer period.

Audience

Conference participants include collegiate students from across the institutional spectrum of the southeastern United States. Presenters should consider how participants will utilize the information to advance and engage their campus.

Presentation Scope

Presentations should be interactive, engaging and relevant to the learning outcomes of this conference. If the presentation focus is more appropriate for a corporate or social agency, it will not be considered unless a clear connection to the collegiate experience is understood by the Selection Committee.

High School Presentations

There will also be a limited number of high school tracks for high school participants. These workshops should aim to prepare LatinX students for success in post-secondary education.

Proposal Criteria

Proposals should supplement and enhance the conference theme, Educación es la Llave and fit into one of three tracks: Professional Development, Financial Literacy and Empowerment. The Selection Committee welcomes proposals related to any dimension of the LatinX experience, including but not limited to:

• LatinX and American History

• Community Empowerment

• Engaging in Community Service

• Nationality Conflicts in Organizations

• Financial Security

Proposals may be presentations, workshops, performances, or other creative modes of promoting LatinX student development and engagement on campus. Proposals may be submitted by individuals or groups’ of students, faculty, staff and community members.

Presentation Policy

Presenters are responsible for providing all handouts. Conference proceedings will be made available to all participants after the conference. Presenters must agree to share a narrative summary of their presentations or a copy of their PowerPoint slides.
