Submissions

Student Presentation Submissions

The Symposium organizers are inviting two student presentations from each member school for inclusion in the 2024 program (please make sure to submit exactly two for scheduling purposes). Given there is no formal review process, each faculty adviser should review and approve submissions for their school.

Abstract submissions should be no longer than one page double-spaced (maximum word count of 300 words) and should summarize the key components of the manuscript (see sample abstract 1 and sample abstract 2). Abstracts will be included in the symposium publication. Each abstract should also include the author name(s) and school affiliation(s), as well as the presentation title, keywords, and the doctoral student’s year in the program.

Presentations at the symposium should be limited to about 15 minutes each to allow for 5-10 minutes of discussion.

Faculty advisors should submit their school’s two abstracts together by March 4, 2024 to Nawar Chaker at nawarchaker1@lsu.edu.

Please note: Submissions for the Bearden Doctoral Student Research Award should be submitted separately.
