This information can be sent to Janine.Peterson(a)marist.edu individually or, preferably, in one batch. Abstracts will be considered and students notified of acceptance shortly after that date. A complete version of the paper (no more than 12 pages), which should correspond to a presentation of no more than 20 minutes, must be submitted by *Sunday, March 22, 2015* so that we can distribute them to session chairs.
