Student Session Submission Form

Undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in at least two courses per semester during the 2012-2013 academic year are eligible to submit proposals on evaluation methods and/or findings of projects for which they have had substantial responsibility. The top three proposals will be chosen as 20 minute presentations during a special 90 minute session, with the remaining 30 minutes devoted to audience questions and feedback. Each student presenter will receive a $400 stipend to attend the conference. Additionally, a small set of proposals will be chosen to present during a special student poster session that will be held during the main Conference reception. This provides students with the opportunity to discuss evaluation methods and/or findings in a less formal setting. Each student poster presenter will receive a $100 stipend to attend the conference.

These opportunities are provided to encourage students to participate at a professional conference and to present their work as developing evaluators. By submitting a proposal, you indicate that:

• You are an undergraduate or graduate students enrolled in at least two courses per semester during the 2012-2013 academic year.
• You had substantial responsibility for the content of the presentation
• You understand that, in addition to the stipend, the conference registration fee ($85) will be waived and that plenary luncheons are also included at no additional expense.
• You understand that hotel accommodations are NOT covered by the award, and that you will contact the conference hotel directly to make the necessary reservations.
• You will attend the full conference, as this opportunity is designed to supplement your learning through conference participation.

I acknowledge and agree to the above terms concerning student sessions.

By submitting a proposal, you further indicate your agreement to the following:
• All presenters of accepted proposals will register for the conference and will present as scheduled. (There is no discount or waiver of the registration fee for presenters, and no refunds of the registration fee.)

• The designated contact person will contact all presenters to notify them of the status of the proposal. For accepted proposals, the designated contact person will notify all presenters of the necessity of registering for the conference (see the paragraph above).

• Changes to the content of the proposal or the listed presenters will not be made without the approval of EERS. Failure to register or appear for your presentation constitutes a breach of professional trust and will harm your chances of participating in future EERS conferences and events.

I acknowledge the above submission agreement.
