Professional Meeting opportunities at which you can present a paper Spring 2024:

CURCA is pleased to announce that UNG’s 29th Annual Research Conference submission portal is now accepting abstracts at: https://arc.ungjournals.org/.  We invite students from all campuses to submit an abstract to present their research and creative projects to the wider UNG community. All disciplines are included, and students can present proposed, ongoing, or completed projects. Students may choose to either do a poster, a podium presentation (oral presentation) or a performance. Both undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to apply. This year, the Annual Research Conference will be held at the Martha T. Nesbitt building on the Gainesville campus, on March 29th, from 9 am to 3 pm. Full information on our ARC page.

• To participate, students should visit the ARC portal and submit a 250-word abstract by February 16th at 11:59pm.  Students can also compete for best poster/best paper awards by submitting a complete poster/paper through the same portal by March 4th. 

CURCA will also be hosting virtual workshops to help students prepare their abstracts and their presentations. The abstract writing workshop will take place on February 7th at 12pm, and the conference presentation workshop will take place on March 6th at 12 pm. Both workshops will take place via Zoom: go.ung.edu/curcazoomroom
