Student Conference on Diversity and Social Justice

The Diversity Task Force announces the first annual UC Clermont College Student Conference on Diversity and Social Justice May 28, 2008 at 3 p.m.  The conference is intended to provide an opportunity for UC Clermont College undergraduate students to present their work on issues related to diversity and social justice to their peers, faculty and community members in the form of roundtable discussion.

Participants must submit proposals and an abstract to the Diversity Task Force Conference Review Committee no later May 16, 2008.  A faculty committee will use a blind review process to evaluate all submissions.  Papers/proposals will be evaluated on the basis of scholarly merit, topic relevance and originality. Students may submit revised work previously produced for class assignments and projects. Single or multiple author papers are eligible (one submission per author). Papers should be approximately 6– 10 pages in length, doubled spaced but can be longer if necessary. Papers must be submitted in Microsoft Word 2003 format and use an approved APA, MLA, ALWD, or Chicago style.

Papers must be related to issues of diversity and social justice broadly defined. Feel free to contact Diversity Task Force members Frank Fitch -
