Call for Proposals

Graduate/Doctoral Presentations
With membership from Indiana’s public and private colleges and universities, the Indiana Council for Continuing Education (ICCE) is dedicated to expanding educational opportunities for non-traditional learners, as well as working with Indiana’s business and industries to prepare the state’s workforce for meeting the challenges of the 21st Century.
To assist our member institutions (and other training and development organizations within Indiana) in achieving these objectives, the Council offers professional development opportunities annually for faculty, administrators, staff and others involved in developing and delivering educational outreach and training and development programming. Recently, the Council has embarked on an initiative to increase and expand research opportunities for those considering careers in the broad field of continuing education.
To this end, ICCE invites proposals for presentations from graduate or doctoral students proposing or currently conducting research on any of the following topics: Continuing Education and Lifelong Learning; Adult Learning; Distance Learning; Non-Credit Programming; Professional Development; or Business & Industry/Customized Training. Presentations should be no longer than 30 minutes in length.
Three proposals will be selected for presentation at the 32nd ICCE Professional Development Conference on Thursday March 18, 2010 in Indianapolis. Complimentary registration fee will be provided to all presenters. Of the three selected, one will be awarded a $1,000 grant for continuation of the research. In return ICCE requests a final report of the research findings which will be shared with member institutions by presenting at the 2011 Conference.
Guidelines for Proposal Submission
Proposals must be submitted via e-mail no later than December 1, 2009 to Ron White of Indiana University, Bloomington Continuing Studies, ronwhite@indiana.edu.

National Communication Association, 95th Annual Convention
“Discourses of Stability and Change”
November 12-15, 2009, Chicago Hilton
GREETING TO GRADUATE STUDENTS
Like you, I am gett
ng myself ready for the NCA convention coming up very quickly! I remember well my first few NCA conventions as a graduate student. There was so much to choose from–I was anxious see the scholars whose work I had been studying and also a bit overwhelmed
t all the choices and demands for my time. In addition, I was hoping I would find people to talk with among so many convention-goers. Soon I was also ready to present my own work, concerned about doing well, making a good impression, and getting feedback
on my ideas.
With over 1,200 sessions in Chicago, the hardest thing is to figure out what to see first. I suggest preparing your schedule in advance; search the convention program and download a personalized schedule at: http://www.natcom.org/index.asp?bid=11032 or download the program as PDF files.
If you have not yet registered you may do so at the convention. You’ll find registration on the Lower Level of the
Hilton Chicago, and it they will be open to help you and answer any questions. This is also where you’ll pick up your convention program if you are registered (Wednesday, November 11 3:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.; Thursday, November 12 7:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.; Fri
ay, November 13 7:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Saturday, November 14 7:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.)
There are several events of special interest to students and those new(er) to NCA. I have listed some of these below. We focused on adding opportunities for one
on-one interaction and places where you may meet and talk with senior scholars. I am especially excited about the Scholar’s Office Hours event that I planned with students in mind (see below for information).
I encourage you to attend To
Paper Panels and Business Meetings of the units that interest you the most. There is a list of all the Business Meetings toward the front of the program. If you are new to the convention, check out the Convention FAQs for information, especially t
e last section entitled “At the Convention” for helpful tips on making the most of your experience: http://www.natcom.org/index.asp?bid=11035
I hope you meet you in Chicag
. If you have questions, contact me at: braithwaitenca@unl.edu
Warmly, Dawn O. Braithwaite, NCA First Vice President
