The DEADLINE for the 2011 NASPA program proposals is quickly approaching. September 3rd in fact. The Latin@ Knowledge community (LKC) Sponsored Programs Committee is calling for presentations that bring awareness to current issues in higher education as they affect Latin@s as well as the greater community. Your voice is needed as we think about the future of NASPA & Latin@s in higher education. Many of you have excellent ideas for presentations and we don’t want them to go unheard! If you have the slightest question about submitting a proposal on Latin@ issues contact me (LKC Chair for Sponsored Programs) at aparicia@seattleu.edu. I look forward to seeing your program proposals and for those of you who have yet to present at NASPA I encourage you to take this challenge and next step in your professional career.
Program proposal facts:
- The LKC can approve three programs for sponsorship, which means your proposal can be evaluated by our community directly and has a very strong chance of being accepted by the overall NASPA program proposal committee.
- This is a great resume booster! Even if not accepted, writing a program proposal is an excellent point of professional development. Check out the guidelines here: http://www.naspa.org/conf/cfp/
default.cfm - We need diverse program proposals. We welcome programs that highlight intersections of identity: race, class, sexual orientation, religion, gender, etc. With inclusion comes awareness and change!
- Program proposals can be: panels, research based, experiential, and etc. (be innovated!)
- If you have questions about submitting a program proposal or want it to be anonymously reviewed with feedback before you submit it to NASPA, contact Adam-Jon Aparicio at aparicia@seattleu.edu 206.269.6306
