Call for Papers
April 30, 2007
Guidelines
This call for papers is an opportunity for trainees within
the AUCD network to share their research projects, leadership projects, or
other program projects that they have been involved with during their
traineeship. Trainees are asked to share research proposals, completed research projects,
leadership projects, program evaluation projects, or program changes you have
implemented in this call for papers. This is an opportunity to share your hard
work with others, participate in scholarly activities, and generate discussion
and ideas for future projects. Upon review and edits, summaries will be posted
on the AUCD website in the Trainees section. Please send papers to
AUCD Virtual Trainee Rene Jamison. By
sending in papers, trainees give AUCD permission to post their
submission on this website for an undetermined amount of time.
Papers must be submitted by May 14, 2007. Papers will be posted as they are submitted, so
please feel free to submit them before the final due date. We are looking forward to
reading many papers! Guidelines for submission follow below. An example is
provided on the website.
