The College of William and Mary's
Eleventh Annual Graduate Research Symposium
March 23-24 2012
2012 GRS Abstract Submission Form
ABSTRACT SUBMISSION IS CLOSED (deadline was December 2, 2011 at 11:59 PM)
The deadline to submit changes to our your abstract was 5pm Friday, February 3, 2012. If you did not submit corrections, the original abstract that was submitted will appear in the Symposium program.
In order to submit an abstract as a William and Mary student, you must have been admitted into a Graduate Arts and Sciences department/program. Students enrolled in other William and Mary graduate programs or as a non-degree seeking student at William and Mary cannot submit an abstract. William and Mary Visiting Scholars and Language House Tutors will be considered visiting presenters and must submit the required registration fee.
Abstract Preparation Guidelines
- The abstract should include the specific question your research addresses, research design and methods, major results (or anticipated results), and possible implications of your findings. Due to limited room availability, if the focus of your oral presentation will not be on your specific contribution to a research collaboration or project, a poster presentation may be more appropriate for the Symposium.
- It is the responsibility of the presenter to obtain approval from your advisor, co-authors, and Institutional Compliance Committees prior to abstract submission.
- The goal of the Graduate Research Symposium (GRS) is to present research to educated people in many fields of study. Your abstract will be read by a multi-disciplinary audience and should avoid or explain any technical terms. The presentation itself may be geared to a more discipline specific audience.
- Submission of an abstract implies a committment to present your research at the 2012 Graduate Research Symposium. Therefore please make sure that you understand all of the requirements before submitting, as withdrawing an abstract after acceptance may prevent you from submitting abstracts to future Graduate Research Symposia.
Review Process
- Abstracts will be competitively reviewed by the GRS organizing committee.
- Abstracts over 1,700 characters (including spaces) AND 250 words or submitted after the deadline will NOT be acknowledged or considered.
- Graduate students will be notified of their abstract acceptance/rejection on or around January 7, 2012.
- Students from institutions other than the College of William & Mary will be required to submit a non-refundable $85 registration fee that grants attendance for the presenter to all GRS presentations, any featured lectures and panel discussions, the refreshments on Friday and Saturday morning, the Friday lunch, the Friday evening reception, and the awards luncheon on Saturday. A non-refundable guest/spouse fee of $30 is required for non-presenters from outside institutions for admittance to meal functions only (i.e., admittance to all presentations is free).
Please contact the Symposium Committee if you have any questions.
