The Honors Research Conference at UC Irvine, taking place next Spring, wants your proposals, abstracts, research ideas and wants to give you your opportunity to shine, and perhaps even get a scholarship and the possibility of getting published. Who would not want to take advantage of such limitless possibilities? J I hope that many of you will see this as a terrific opportunity and will want to participate. Please see attached flyer for submission guidelines and deadlines.
If you are not sure you will want to submit your research this year, there is the possibility of participating as a volunteer. Let me know if you wish to do that.
Cheers,

Announcing the 13th
Annual HTCC Student Research Conference:
March
23, 2013, 8:30-4:30 at UC Irvine
http://www.honorstcc.org
The Thirteenth Annual HTCC Student Research Conference will be held at UCI on Saturday,
March 23, 2013 from 8:30 to 4:30.
This conference offers a venue for community college students from
across the state to present their original research-based work. While the
conference is aimed at showcasing the work of students in honors programs, it
is also open to non-honors students who have done exemplary work. The research
element of your presentation does not have to be elaborate: it can entail
anything from a single journal citation to an original experiment. You might
want to consider presenting if you want to do any of the following:
· Share your ideas with other
students in a professional setting
· Improve your public speaking
skills
· Strengthen your personal
statement and transfer application
· Be eligible to compete for
award and scholarship monies ranging from $75 to $1000
· Be eligible to compete for a
UCI Research Fellowship if you intend to transfer to UCI
· Be eligible to have your
work published in the Building Bridges
conference anthology following the conference
Presentation options at the
conference include the following:
1) Individual Presentation: 12-minute oral presentation followed by 5
minutes of discussion
2) Small Group
Presentation: 20-minute panel featuring
two presenters, followed by 10 minutes of discussion
3) Large Group
Presentation: 40-minute panel featuring
three or more participants, followed by 10 minutes of discussion
4) Poster: Research Poster Display
5) Performance: Student-created art, music, creative writing,
drama, dance
Students are allowed to
participate in more than one area, but the maximum is one individual oral
presentation, one group presentation, and one poster display per student. Students may not do multiple presentations on
the same topic.
To apply to the conference,
you must work with a mentor professor to prepare a Presentation Title, a
25-word Proposal Description, and a 250-word Proposal Abstract (summary) and
then submit them electronically to Danielle Muller (see contact information
below), by December 2. Once your Scholars Director has your written
proposal, she will meet with you to discuss any necessary revisions and to
collect further information from you for the application form. The RBS Program Director will submit your
conference application in December. You
will be notified whether your proposal has been accepted by mid-late January.
Once accepted, you then have until conference time to work on your poster
and/or presentation. Practice sessions
will be offered beginning in March.
Although most conference topics arise out of research papers, you do not
have to write a full paper for the conference since all presentations are in
oral or poster form. Conference prizes
are awarded on the basis of abstracts only. To be eligible for a conference award or to have your abstract
published, you will need to submit additional abstracts after you have been
notified that you have been accepted to the conference. Details for this process will be communicated
to you once you have submitted the original Proposal Abstract.
This really is a terrific
opportunity for you. You can find out more about the conference—including
advice on writing abstracts—at the HTCC site: http://www.honorstcc.org/ (look on the left-hand side at the HTCC
Student Research Conference link).
