The Fourteenth (14th) Annual SAEOPP / UTK McNair National Scholars Research Conference offers
a venue for the presentation of scholarly research in competition with peers. McNair Scholars
are invited to submit a proposal, which should consist of:

Oral Presentations
Each McNair student giving an oral presentation will be allotted
15 minutes including 5 minutes for questions and answers.
If the presentation is to be in a computerized format, please have a backup plan
should there be an instrumental failure. We are limited to 136 oral presentations.
Oral presentations will be judged on:
- Quality of the research
- Presentation delivery and command of subject matter
- Effectiveness of the effort
Presentations are judged within their respective disciplines. Presenters must
designate their research area. Oral presentations will be randomly assigned to
either Friday afternoon or Saturday morning.
The Conference planning committee will provide the following
equipment in each research presentation room:
- LCD projector
- Laptop
- Overhead Projector
Poster Presentations
Poster presentations will occur on Friday evening. Poster presenters will need to allot time before the opening
session to set up. Presentations will be made on a standard, tri-fold presentation
board (side panels measuring 1' x 3'; center panel measuring 2' x 3').
Presenters will be assigned tables randomly.
Posters will be judged on:
- Comprehensiveness
- Quality of research
- Visual display
Addendum
-
Overhead projectors will be placed in all rooms.
-
Conference planners cannot guarantee
performance of audio-visual equipment. Presenters are
advised to anticipate equipment failure, and be prepared to
adjust the presentation accordingly. (Have transparencies
or slides as a back up)
-
Presenters are encouraged to provide written handouts.
Deadline for Submission
is June 6, 2008
Early submission is suggested due to limited numbers. Confirmation of proposal acceptance
will be e-mailed or mailed to each presenter.
