Undergraduate Research Conference

CALL FOR PAPERS

HOSTED BY THE HONORS PROGRAMS OF ROBERT MORRIS UNIVERSITY
AND CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA

The Honors Programs of California University of Pennsylvania and Robert Morris University are proud to host the Intersections Undergraduate Research Conference, which will highlight the various intersections between disciplines, research, and methodologies.

This year’s conference will be held at Robert Morris University with video-conference uplinks to some participating institutions. All undergraduates at area institutions are invited to submit their papers and creative projects for inclusion in the conference. Current and prior work, except that already presented at a previous year’s conference, is suitable for submission. Those selected to present their research at the conference will have 10 minutes to share their findings, process or method for creating their work. A selection of the top papers will be published in the on-line conference proceedings.

Individual papers, or a panel of three or four papers related to a theme, may be submitted. All students invited to present their research must be registered and able to attend the conference. Students should feel free to submit papers or creative projects completed independently or within the parameters of a course assignment. Multiple submissions are encouraged; however students should take care to submit their best work to date. Students might also wish to submit research papers which explore a topic, issue, or position, in order to draw conclusions, make suggestions, or propose hypotheses.
