Faculty Scholarship Week 2018

By Susan Gallanis in Scholarship 0 Comment

Concordia’s Faculty Scholarship Week is only three months away!  This year, in addition to the Monday poster session, we added an additional presentation session on Friday on the Mequon campus. We’ll have a similar event on the Ann Arbor campus if there is sufficient interest.

Here are the details:

  • Abstract submission deadline is Thursday, September 13, 2018 at 5:00 pm CDT; the abstract template is linked below.
  • The Faculty Scholarship Committee will review all abstracts and will notify authors by October 1, 2018
  • A poster session will be held Monday, October 22, 2018 in the Terrace Room on the Mequon campus (Ann Arbor location TBD); there will be snacks
  • Presentations will take place on Wednesday, October 24, Thursday, October 25, and Friday, October 26, 2017 in the Lakeshore Room on the Mequon campus (Ann Arbor location TBD); lunch will be provided
  • This is a peer-reviewed event; it is a great place to get some feedback on your scholarly work, and to get a peer-reviewed scholarly product for your CV.
  • All academic disciplines are welcome; we hope to have a strong representation from all 6 schools and a wide variety of departments and programs

You can direct any questions to julie.dresen@cuw.edu or give me a call at x2794.   Committee members are also happy to provide advice and assistance.

Blessings,

The Faculty Scholarship Committee
