A note about attendance...
In an e-mail to NGCSU-LIST on February 19th, 2008, VPAA Linda Roberts-Betsch described the Dean's Council proposal regarding Honors Conference attendance: "Classes will not be canceled, but attendance at session(s) will count as a class session per directions from individual instructors if they chose to cancel class. Expectations as to attendance should be described on the class syllabus."

The Honors Conference is a forum to showcase student excellence and achievement. Each department selects student papers or projects to present at their appropriate panel. Honor societies and other relevant groups may also stage related presentations at each panel or may stage their own special panels or activities.

In general, presentations involve significant original research or thinking, often in the form of multimedia presentations (visuals, graphics, video, audio, computer presentations). Each presentation will last around 10 to 12 minutes. The honor society/other group activities will total about 20 minutes for each panel.

Technology information for participants: If you have questions about technology availability or have a technology request, please see this form, and send your requests to Eric Nelken at eanelken@ngcsu.edu
