EDGE Conference is for anyone working or interested in academic and career planning at Indiana University. The Conference Committee encourages faculty advisors, career coaches, academic advisors, advising and career administrators, success coaches, and internship supervisors to join us to learn from colleagues and share ideas. The conference will include a keynote speaker and multiple concurrent sessions; each session will be 50 minutes long. Our Keynote will be focused on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. We welcome proposals on all topics and consider if that is a topic or an aspect that would add meaning your proposal. Please think of this as YOUR conference and consider flexible options for participating:
- problem-solving sessions to share ideas and generate best practices
- cross-campus collaborations for any kind of event
- research presentations and papers
- participatory workshops
- working group sessions to communicate with colleagues in similar roles at different campuses
- discussions of shared challenges (consider new or experienced advisor round-tables about professional growth and challenges)
- Panels to collect and share experiences and approaches
- Group coaching sessions
Proposals should be a word document and include:
- Name(s), campus(es), email addresses, and job title(s) of presenter(s) or working group/discussion leaders(s)
- Please designate a primary contact person for the proposal. That person will be the contact for the proposal and conference related details.
- Presentation/Event title and Abstract (about 200 words) describing your event or presentation and what participants will learn or get out of the experience.
- Desired format (workshop, round table, presentation) – please feel free to be very creative and consider flexible options
- Other information that you want us to be aware of, such as presenter accessibility needs, time zone, etc.
The Conference will be online through Zoom, but there are lots of digital tools you can use. Please reach out to the Kate or Veronica if you want to submit a proposal but you feel unsure about technology. Let us help you find a way.
Proposals must be submitted online by Sunday, February 21 by the end of the day to hmcastor@iu.edu Questions? Please contact Kate Goldstein kegoldst@iu.edu or Veronica Williams. willvero@iun.edu
