Submit a Session Proposal

Primary Guidelines for Teach-In session submission in the fields below:

  • Session Presentation Teams must have at least two members (more is very welcome and common), at least one of whom must be a faculty or staff member.
  • We also encourage local community members as co-presenters.
  • Abstract approval will be contingent on fitting with the mission of the Teach-In, as well as clarity of writing and use of inclusive language.

 

EXAMPLE OF A PROPOSAL

 

Finding Co-Presenters

Our hope is that students, faculty, and staff can find ways to connect around topics of interest. That said, we know there are occasions when a person wants to present, but cannot find a partner. Should this be you, please email us at [email protected] and we will do our best to assist.

CRITERIA
