General 

What is a conference/symposium?   
Academic conferences are meetings where individuals come together to share the findings of their research or creative activities project(s). Conferences are often viewed as an opportunity for presenters and attendees to connect, exchange ideas, learn, and network with each other.   
 
What is ARISE?  
The Advancements in Research, Inquiry, and Scholarship Exhibition (ARISE) is an annual interdisciplinary conference at the ������ϲʿ������2023 (������ϲʿ������2023) in which undergraduate and graduate students showcase their research or creative projects at the conclusion of the summer semester. 

ARISE is a welcoming environment where students can refine their presentation skills through interaction with peers and faculty as they explain their projects, which can be in various stages of development.​ This event is open to the University community.  
 
What should I wear?   
It is recommended that you wear business-casual or smart casual attire to ARISE. We also recommend wearing comfortable shoes. Comfort and confidence are key to a successful presentation!   
 
Any tips for first-time presenters?    
It is highly recommended that you practice your presentation with your faculty mentor, graduate students, friends, and/or family. Since this is a multi-disciplinary event, you should be sure to describe your project in language that can be understood by all attendees. Poster presentations are short – typically less than 10 minutes. Be sure to tell why your work is important and the “take home message.”     

Presenters 

What can I present at ARISE?   
ARISE presentations are limited to poster presentations, through which your project’s findings are presented in poster format.  
 
I have not collected all my data for my research project, can I still present a poster with my research plan and anticipated results?   
Students at every stage of their academic research are encouraged to submit to ARISE, if they have the support from their faculty research mentor.  
 
Can a student present two posters?   
Yes, but they must submit separate abstract submissions for each project.      
 
What should I include in my abstract submission?   
Abstracts/creative statements are limited to 250 words, and should include an introductory statement, the approach/methods, any results, and a discussion/ conclusion. Only submit plain text – do not include any pictures, graphs, or special characters with your abstract submission. We suggest you contact your faculty mentor or the Writing Center for help constructing your abstract.  
 
What does it mean to be a co-presenter?   
A co-presenter is someone who plans to present your project with you during your assigned session time. Keep in mind, faculty mentors/professors who may be your coauthor, cannot serve as co-presenters at ARISE as the event is designed for students.   
 
What is a faculty mentor?   
Faculty mentors serve as subject matter experts within their fields who help guide students along in their research, scholarship, and creative activities (RSCA) experiences. All projects submitted to ARISE must have been conducted under the supervision of a faculty mentor.
