Your Session Presentation

Your 50-word session description (length may vary by conference) should summarize both the content and the structure of your presentation. It should be written in complete sentences and tie into the conference theme, if appropriate. Show how your session relates to honors education. Session descriptions should be as specific and clear as possible. If, for example, your session relies on the work of particular authors, they should be named; so should geographical places, historic periods, scientific discoveries, etc. Avoid jargon, technical terms, complex formulae, etc., and use language that can be understood by and appeal to a broad audience. The 20-word description of your intended audience (required by NCHC) is important to the success of your session. Let the reader know for whom your session is intended (those from community colleges, large institution individuals, students and/or directors, etc.). Student proposals should be reviewed by the Honors College not only for content and format, but also for grammar and usage.

Audio-Visual Equipment Requests

Proposals that include the use of audio-visual equipment must indicate what equipment is needed and how it will function in the presentation. Be certain to read, complete, and sign the audio-visual equipment request on the back of the session proposal form. Audio-visual equipment must be requested at the time the session proposal is submitted.
