Dear History majors, Please see below for a reminder about the upcoming Phi Alpha Theta Upper/Lower Regional Conference. It will be at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, NY, and the deadline for proposing a paper is March 29. Remember that students do *not* have to be members of Phi Alpha Theta to present. Additionally, Phi Alpha Theta can offer some funds to cover travel costs if you are accepted. Best, Prof. Bregoli ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Janine Peterson <Janine.Peterson@marist.edu> Date: Thu, Mar 12, 2015 at 3:29 PM Subject: REMINDER CFP: Abstracts due 3/29 for Undergraduate History Conference at Marist College 4/25 To: Janine Peterson <Janine.Peterson@marist.edu> REMINDER: Paper proposals for the 2015 Phi Alpha Theta New York Upper/Lower Regional Conference, to be held at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, NY, must be received by *Sunday, March 29, 2015*. We welcome proposals on all topics and all periods of history. Students do not have to be a member of Phi Alpha Theta (the National History Honor Society) to present a paper. A student must be a member, however, in order to be selected for one of the awards that are given out for best papers at the conference. Recent (2014) college graduates can also present at the conference. Short abstracts and contact information can be sent to Janine.Peterson@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, April 12, 2015* so that we can distribute them to session chairs/commentators. The conference itself will be held on *Saturday, April 25, 2015*. There is a minimal registration fee of $10, payable at the conference. We are looking forward to receiving the great work of your students!
