Call for Submissions

The Center for Undergraduate Research announces the 6th Annual Strike a Spark Conference on Research Scholarship & Creative Activity. This conference highlights the efforts of our student campus community in research, scholarship, and creative expression. Presentations from all disciplines are welcome.

Students: present work from an individual project, class project, capstone experience or senior/graduate thesis. This can include joint student-faculty presentations. To present at the conference you will need to submit an abstract. An abstract is a brief summary of the work you want to present (200 words or less). Its aim is to interest conference participants in your presentation.

You can submit for four categories:

  • Poster presentation
  • Paper/oral presentation
  • Creative work exhibit
  • Giving a performance

Faculty: submit an abstract that covers multiple students in a particular course, where posters, oral presentations, or creative works are developed in class assignments. Proposals for panel sessions are also accepted.

Guides, examples, and the online submission form are available. Submission are due by midnight, Wednesday, April 1st, 2020. Late or incomplete proposals will not be accepted. Submission questions can be directed to Louise Nicholson (nicholson@calu.edu).
