Abstract Submission Process:
- One abstract must be submitted per presentation.

Abstract preparation guide follows:
- Title. With a goal of no more than 10 important words, the title should inform the reader about content and stimulate interest in the presentation. A newspaper headline format is especially effective.
- Background and Rationale (1-2 Sentences). Provide some background and a rationale for the study. What does your reader need before they can understand why you performed this scholarship/creative activity? Set the stage for further information on the topic.
- Methods (1-2 sentences). Provide methods for how you accomplished your goals. How did you perform the study? What methods did you use to achieve your results? Check that your methods match the upcoming results.
- Results (2-3 sentences). Choose your most significant findings and describe them. What did you accomplish? What is most important for your peers to know about your work? Share the critical findings only
- Conclusions (1-2 sentences). Interpret your results for a broader audience. What can you conclude from your study? How do your results impact larger issues? Make sure your conclusions are supported by your results.
