Student Conference Participation

Students can participate in one or more of the following ways:

• Giving an oral presentation
• Presenting a poster
• Being part of a panel discussion
• Giving a creative performance

Students who wish to participate in the Student Scholarship and Creative Achievement conference will need to submit a proposal online. A BSU faculty or staff sponsor must approve the proposal before it can be reviewed for inclusion in the conference. Students should contact the faculty or staff sponsor before submitting their proposal. As soon as the student has submitted the proposal, the sponsor will be notified via email.

When submitting a proposal a brief title and a minimum of 100 word and maximum of a 200-word abstract is allowed. Give thought to these before beginning your proposal.

The submission system allows for groups of up to 30 students to be involved in the same proposal. The group should select one student to be the applicant who will submit the proposal and add the others as participants.

Any special equipment needs can be specified in the submission system.

Poster presenters must create an electronic version of their poster and submit that poster via jpeg format to travis.ricks@bemidjistate.edu. When you e-mail the poster to travis.ricks@bemidjistate.edu put in the title “Student Achievement Conference 2023.”

“The student achievement conference has taught me how to conduct deeper and more thorough research, which I think I’ll be able to use further on in my career. It allows us to display our hard work.”
