Important reminders about the CAC Student Conference:

• Student presentations should be academic in nature and exhibit critical thinking.
• Student presenters should demonstrate a comprehension of their courses and/or fields of study that exceeds expectations.
• Student work should be modifiable to suit an academic conference setting. This will consist of a 10-minute presentation, with 5-minutes for questions and or discussion.
• Group presentations are acceptable, but groups must consist of three or fewer students.
