Reminder: Annual Research and Programming Colloquium

Have you conducted research, published a paper, or developed a project related to diversity? The University Libraries Diversity Committee invites you to submit a proposal for a presentation at the Diversity Research and Programming Colloquium on Monday, May 23, 2015 from 2:00 – 3:30 p.m. in Foster Auditorium and via MediaSite Live. The format of the program will consist of several short presentations (approximately 15 minutes each) followed by audience questions. Brief “lightning talks” (3 – 5 minutes each) will also be considered. All Libraries’ full- and part-time faculty and staff, including student employees, from all locations, are encouraged to submit proposals and to attend the colloquium. Participants from any campus location may attend in person, or present from their own location via Skype.

Descriptions of past presentations are available on the Diversity Committee website: http://www.libraries.psu.edu/psul/diversity/colloquium.html. To submit a proposal, send a brief description (3-4 sentences) of your project to lana@psu.edu by April 15.
