Overview and Purpose
Estrella Mountain Community College is hosting a district-wide student conference on Thursday, May 3, 2012. The purpose of this conference is to provide students with the experience of presenting their own work in a formal conference environment. Students are required to work with a mentor and must submit their proposals for presentation through this mentor. Presentations can be oral, exhibition, traditional poster session, live performance, or other appropriate formats. The Student Conference is looking for proposals that demonstrate the broad themes of research, innovation, or creativity.
Outcome
Students will engage in rigorous undergraduate work with a mentor and present their work in a formal conference environment.
Objectives
- Students will demonstrate critical and creative thinking by developing an *original work for presentation.
- Students will demonstrate communication mastery through presentation of their *original work.
- Students will demonstrate team work by collaborating with a mentor in the development of this project.
*Original work is work that was created by a student or a group of students through their own effort in the current academic year. Work is considered original even when it is based on the research of others (properly cited) or if it furthers an idea or theme that was created by someone else.
