UNCG Undergrad Honors Symposium Call for Submissions: Outstanding Student Papers

The Honors Symposium offers outstanding undergraduates the opportunity to participate in a hybrid academic conference with concurrent sessions. We welcome submissions from all UNC Greensboro undergraduate students or any Honors student from a North Carolina Honors Program or Honors College. Papers should be research-based and can be written in any discipline, but presentations should be geared toward a general audience. Students may submit more than one paper for consideration to the Symposium. A group of students may also submit a presentation. December 2022 UNCG graduates are also allowed to submit papers for consideration to the Symposium.

Students can submit a paper by:

Submit your paper for consideration via Google Forms at: https://go.uncg.edu/LIHCSymposium by December 19, 2022 at 11:55 p.m. Students should plan a 10 to 15-minute summary presentation and Q&A to follow.

Faculty can get involved by:

• Suggesting a panel of student papers from one of your current courses. Faculty-suggested class panels may be in languages other than English
• Encouraging students with excellent work to submit a paper
• Offering to serve as a session chair at the Symposium
• Offering to serve as a judge at the Symposium
• Attending the Symposium, bringing your class to the Symposium, and encouraging students to attend as individuals as well
• Create assignments for students in your spring courses that include attending the Symposium

The Honors Symposium Prizes, sponsored by UNC Greensboro’s Lloyd International Honors College, are awarded for outstanding presentations at the Symposium. This year prizes dedicated to the encouragement of high-quality academic work will include monetary awards of $250 for the top presentation in one category for Visiting Honors students and in two categories for UNCG students: Arts & Humanities, and Sciences & Professional Schools. Award decisions will be based on the presentation of the papers at the Symposium.

There is no registration cost to present or attend. We encourage friends and family to attend as audience members. For more information about the Symposium, students and faculty may contact Dr. Angela Bolte, Assistant Dean, Lloyd International Honors College, at akbolte@uncg.edu.
