Proposal
Evaluation Criteria
Proposals will be evaluated on the basis of:
- Timeliness of the subject matter
- Topic's contribution to advising field
- Clearly stated purpose and objectives
|
- Creativity in an approach to a situation or in ways
to manage it
- Adaptability of ideas to a variety of institutional
settings
- Reflective of good writing practices
|
Presentation titles should be
descriptive of the content of the session. They need not reflect
the title of the conference.
Priority
will be assigned to proposals that demonstrate new ideas or
methods, or indicate a high level of knowledge and unique
treatment of the topic. Proposals from inexperienced, as well
as experienced presenters, researchers, and practitioners
are earnestly solicited.
Understanding
the online application form ...
| Co-presenters |
Only
co-presenters who will actually be at the conference should
be listed. You may have many persons who worked on your project,
but we list only those presenters who will be making the actual
presentation. |
| Prior
Experience Information |
Made available to the Program and
Commission chairs to help them decide which proposals to designate
as "Commission Sponsored". We strongly encourage
submissions from both experienced and novice presenters. |
| Commercial
Policy |
Proposals
from individuals who do not represent accredited higher education
institutions will be reviewed separately. At no time is it
permissible for a session or workshop presenter to use his/her
presentation time slot to advertise or promote a commercial
product, service, or company. View a complete description of the NACADA Commercial Policy. |
| Program
Format |
If
you choose Concurrent as the format you wish
to present, please be specific in your abstract on how much
interaction will take place in your session. Concurrent sessions
are 60-minute presentations that can be either a lecture format,
or a panel format. Panels are required to be formed by the
person submitting, must have a moderator and are expected
to represent the perspectives of more than one institution.
| Poster
Presentations |
Presented in the form of a tabletop
exhibit and delivered primarily through the use of visual
display and handout materials. These sessions are most appropriate
for display of specific programmatic approaches and research
findings. The presenter should expect to make brief remarks
when approached by attendees, share information, and answer
questions about the presentation topic. All poster sessions
are presented during a 1.25 hour poster breakfast or lunch. Audiovisual
equipment or internet is not available for
poster sessions. |
|
| Audio Visual |
This is the largest expense for the Annual
Conference.
- Please check only specific equipment essential
to deliver your presentation. Technology should be utilized
only when it significantly enhances the quality of your
presentation. Be conservative in your request, as each internet
connection as well as each data projector can cost NACADA
$400 daily rental per room. Please consider alternatives. Presenters must be capable of connecting their
own computers to rented data projectors. NACADA cannot provide
setup assistance to individuals at the conference.
- You are encouraged to bring your own data
projector. NACADA will provide a projection cart and screen.
Again, be adept at setting up your own computer and projector
at the conference.
- Computers are the presenter's responsibility.
- AV cannot be utilized for Poster presentations.

| Program
Tracks |
You are not required
to choose two tracks! Choose only the tracks (up to two) that
best fits your proposal. Tracks are used in dividing the proposals
up to go out to readers. The tracks are also used in the on
site program to help attendees decide which session they would
like to attend. |
| Target
Audience |
This information
is required but will be used for the Conference program only,
not as part of the acceptance process. |
| Presentation
Proposal |
Include the complete title of the presentation, but do not
include your name. The proposal should state the presentation's
objectives and clearly describe how objectives will be met
(materials, methods, activities, etc.) Refer to evaluation
criteria above. There is no word limit on the proposal. |
| Presentation Abstract |
135-word limit. Do not use bullets, italicize, bold or underline for emphasis
The format will not be retained after online submission.
This abstract will be published in the printed program should
your proposal be accepted. Conference participants use session
abstracts to determine which sessions to attend; therefore,
it should accurately describe the content and focus
of your proposed session. Include the complete title of
the presentation, but do not include your name.
Enclose cited publications in quotation marks. PLEASE proofread
your abstract.
The 135-word limit includes the presentation's
title. Abstracts exceeding the 135-word limit will
not be reviewed. |
Things
to Remember ... (If
your proposal is accepted)
- All presenters (except for pre-conference workshops) are
expected to submit electronic versions
of handouts or other materials used in their sessions to
NACADA, preferably prior to the conference, but within
one week after it. The material is published to the conference
web page, accessible only to conference attendees.
- Due to budgetary considerations, it is not possible to
offer either an honorarium or a waiver of registration fees
to program presenters.
- All presenters and co-presenters must register and pay
for the conference.
- Scheduling of programs is a complex process. If accepted,
your program may be scheduled at any time during the conference.
In June, you will receive notice of the date and time scheduled
for your presentations. Please make travel plans accordingly.
- A session canceled after August 1st is considered failure to meet the agreement made between NACADA and the presenter/s. Presenters canceling after the August 1st deadline will not be considered for further presentations for 3 consecutive years.
