Paper and Panel Proposals Now Being Accepted for the FRN National Symposium (Due April 15). Symposium Description:
Today’s college students are both like and unlike those of previous generations. They bring with them similar aspirations for personal growth and development, but with increasing pressures to gain an education that provides a path to a profession. Among this group are many first-generation college students and under-represented minorities, along with students from abroad, veterans, prison inmates, and students with disabilities. The challenges that faculty members now encounter in their classrooms require concerted and collaborative efforts to help all students achieve academic success, especially those who need increased academic support.
FRN requests a one-page abstract (between 300-500 words) of the intended breakout session or poster presentation. The abstract should outline the content and structure of the session, together with its intellectual merit and education value for the symposium participants. The abstract should include the names, institutional affiliations and contact information for each presenter. Please clearly indicate whether your proposal is for a breakout session or a poster presentation.
Breakout sessions are scheduled for one hour. We encourage submissions by a group of 2-4 presenters, which emphasize collaboration and are organized around a common theme. Proposals submitted by individuals (if accepted) will be combined with other proposal topics within the breakout session.
Poster presentations may be submitted by individuals or by groups of any size.
Proposal submission deadline: Friday, April 15, 2016.
Please send your abstract and supporting documentation as an email attachment to: frn@nyu.edu.
