- 2012 Colloquium Brochure
Saint Joseph's College invites undergraduates to present their research at the 9th annual Undergraduate Research Colloquium. The conference will take place on campus Tuesday, April 17, 2012.
The purpose of the conference is to provide an opportunity for undergraduates from departments across campus to discuss their work with interested students and faculty. The research to be presented may include completed studies or works in progress. Students participate by making either an oral presentation or a poster session presentation. Each student has a designated faculty sponsor.
Oral presentations will be scheduled every 15 minutes, with approximately 10 minutes allotted for the presentation plus 2-3 minutes for questions from the audience. While one speaker per oral presentation is desirable, multiple speakers may be allowed in special cases. Oral presentations will occur between 1:00 and 4:00 pm.
Poster session presentations can include art displays or interactive demonstrations as well as poster representations of research. The poster session will run from 11:30 to 1:00 pm with presenters encouraged to attend as long as possible. Posters will remain on display until 4:00 pm.
Students who wish to present at this year's conference should fill out a colloquium abstract submission form (see below) with a full abstract (maximum of 250 words) which describes the basic purposes, methods and results (or anticipated results for work in progress) of the project and a brief abstract (maximum 35 words) that briefly describes the project. The application deadline is March 16.
