Faculty Research Conference
The Second National University Faculty Research and Scholarship Conference, organized by the University Research Council together with the Graduate and Undergraduate Councils and the Faculty Senate, will hold a University-wide peer-reviewed event for faculty to present their research and scholarship accomplishments for the 2007-2008 academic year on the day before the University Fall Assembly in September 2008.
The goals of the conference are:
- Offer a forum for National University faculty and scholars from outside the University to make their research and scholarship accomplishments visible, appreciated and shared with the University Community; and to
- Promote research and scholarship at the University and outside, thus enhancing the University-wide research and scholarship culture and making National accomplishments visible to the broad academic community.
The conference will be conducted as follows:
- A Plenary Session with two invited speakers, one from outside and the other from National University.
- Sectional presentation by research topics.
- Poster presentations organized by schools, with authors presenting their research, holding discussions, and answering questions.
Both full time and adjunct faculty, as well as outside scholars and researchers, are invited and encouraged to submit an abstract proposal by June 1. The abstract should be approximately 150 words in length. Please include the following in the abstract: Title of the paper, your name, school and email address. After peer review of the abstract proposal, faculty will asked to submit a full paper by July 1. The paper will be reviewed and the author notified of the acceptance in the program by August 1. The abstract and paper should be in APA format, with the paper not exceeding 12 pages.
