Call for Papers
Call for Abstracts
The Office of Faculty Success is pleased to announce the return of the Graduate Conference on Research, Scholarship, and the Arts, which will be held in person on Friday, November 7, 2025.
We invite proposals from students in master’s and doctoral programs across all disciplines. Students are encouraged to submit abstracts at any stage of their graduate program, particularly those in the early stages of research. The Graduate Conference provides an excellent opportunity for emerging scholars to share their work, receive feedback, and engage with peers and faculty across disciplines.
Presentation Format
Participants will have the option of delivering either a six-minute PowerPoint presentation or a poster presentation. Each presentation will be followed by questions and conversation to encourage dialogue and feedback. Students can use slides or bring a poster to help support their presentation, but we are focusing on encouraging our graduate students to present their ideas effectively to a general audience.
