Phi Alpha Theta Regional Conference at Lynchburg College Spring 2012!
Saturday, March 31, 2012
Lynchburg College, Lynchburg, Va.
Call for Papers
Paper submission, registration and fee payment deadline: Friday February 17, 2012
Lynchburg College is proud to host the 2012 Phi Alpha Theta History Honor Society Virginia Regional Conference. We invite PAT members from all Virginia campuses to submit graduate and undergraduate papers on any topic of history. Advisors, please encourage your members to participate. Papers submitted (four copies plus completed registration form, please) by the February 17 deadline will be judged by historians outside the state for awards in Graduate and Undergraduate divisions of World and European, and United States History. Papers submitted to be judged may be of any reasonable length; however, by the time of the conference students must refine and edit their papers into a 20 minute presentation, which equals about 10-11 typed, double spaced pages when read aloud. Each of our conference rooms is equipped with computer, projector, and Video/DVD technology for those who choose to use it.
A registration fee of $25 and a completed registration form (attached) must accompany four copies of each paper submission. Advisors please collect the fees for your chapter and forward a single check payable to "Lynchburg College - Phi Alpha Theta" to cover the cost of all of your attendees. The registration fee helps us provide morning snacks, a buffet luncheon, an honorarium for the keynote speaker, and prizes for all our student winners.
Arrangements have been made with the Wingate Hotel in Lynchburg for a conference rate.
