Why submit an abstract to present at ES2?
As a presenter at the Engaged Scholar Symposium (ES2), you have the opportunity to:
-
Learn more about cutting-edge advances in your respective field,
-
Showcase and promote your project,
-
Contribute to and expand your overall professional profile, resume, or CV, and
-
Compete to win an award based on your work.
Who can submit an abstract?
Research, creative works, and service-learning projects are welcome from all disciplines.
What should an abstract include?
An abstract is a concise, yet descriptive paragraph that should cover all parts of your project. Abstracts should be written for an interdisciplinary audience and should be between 100-500 words. Submissions and presentations may be given in either English, Spanish, or both. Research abstracts should include: objective, methods, results, and conclusion. Service Learning abstracts should include a description of the project, student's role, and reflection component. Abstracts for creative works should include a creative objective, context/background information, and a description of craftsmanship/technical skills.
In addition to your abstract, you will also be asked to provide a brief 50-word summary for your project, which will be included within the program. Note: Competing presentations and service-learning posters will have pre-determined times and locations. For more information, see Student Awards.
