When writing your proposal, please keep the following considerations in mind:  

  • All sessions will be 50 minutes (please allow time for Q&A within this timeframe).
  • What best practices are you currently using?
  • What best practices need to be developed for the future?
  • What will tomorrow’s students need from academic and student support professionals?
  • Proposals that challenge participants to think outside the box about the student experience are encouraged.

A successful proposal should: 

  • Be informative
  • Encourage engagement
  • Demonstrate application to the work of the participants
  • Be grounded in research where applicable
  • Have a session title and 150 word abstract for conference program
  • Include a 400-600 word outline that incorporates learning outcomes and interactive elements
