Welcome back! Did you write a paper last term on an international topic, global citizenship, or migration issues? As previously announced, one part of the inaugural Global Citizen Forum, March 6–8, 2019, will be a morning conference to recognize and share high-quality undergraduate research related to international and global topics. 

Student research panels are scheduled for the morning of Friday, March 8. Students from any major are invited to submit papers for consideration. Once a paper is accepted, the author will be invited to present his or her paper in summary form (i.e., 12–15-minute oral presentation) on a conference panel. (Panels will be composed of presentations on related topics.) 

Papers should meet the following criteria:
– Address an international/global theme or topic.
– Include significant empirical content.
– Cite all relevant sources appropriately.
– Exceed 10 pages (double-spaced) in length.
– Meet high standards with regard to academic quality and clarity of presentation.

Interested students should email their papers to: jeffrey.kappen@drake.edu by Feb. 15 and will be notified of their acceptance by Feb. 22.
