Focus on Creative Inquiry Poster Forum
Call for 2013 FoCI Posters
Sponsored by the Office of Undergraduate Studies, the Honors College and the Graduate School
The 2013 Focus on Creative Inquiry Poster Forum will be held on Tuesday, April 9, 2013 in the Hendrix Center. Abstracts will be due by midnight on March 1, 2013.
Come share your experiences and learn what others are doing!
Display places are limited, so sign up early. Submit your FoCI proposal form online by March 1, 2013. Project proposals for a poster display may be submitted only once. Late applicants will not be accepted. Your faculty mentor and the student designated as the primary contact will be notified by email when the poster is accepted.
All students, faculty, friends, parents and colleagues are invited to view the FoCI posters and meet with the presenters. Food will be available.
There will be cash prizes for the top three posters voted by our panel of judges as well as the top three "people's choice" posters.

Before and after the FoCI Poster Forum, you are encouraged to display your poster in your department or college for the reminder of the week. Talk to your department chair or associate dean about creating a local research/Creative Inquiry event. Please contact Barbara Speziale if you are planning a Creative Inquiry or research event in April so that it can be advertised on the CI website.
