Seventh Annual
Quest for Community: A Call to Action

This year's theme is "The Strength of Difference: Transforming Communities for the Future."

Proposal Submission

The Quest Committee is no longer accepting proposals.

Proposal Criteria

• Proposals can be papers, presentation, workshops, performances, or other creative modes of conveying the content related to promoting the acceptance of diversity in an academic environment.
• Proposals can be submitted by individuals or groups.
• Proposals can be submitted by students, faculty, staff, community members, and combined groups.
• Presenters must register as conference attendees and may attend free of charge.
  Registration forms will follow at a later date.
• Specific time requests for presentations can not be guaranteed. Persons submitting proposals must be able to present in the morning or afternoon sessions.
• The Selections Committee expects to receive proposals related to any dimension of diversity including—but not limited to—multiculturalism, race/ethnicity, age, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, disability, age, and access to higher education.
• Priority will be given to student-led proposals and proposals that offer unique perspectives around the 2007 theme. The Selections Committee will also ensure that accepted presenters represent the region.
• All successful proposals will have a connection to the 2007 theme and will present new perspectives to understanding diversity and community in higher education. In addition, successful proposals will offer concrete steps or an action plan for positive change that individuals or groups in attendance at the presentation will be able to pursue. The latter criterion is a reflection of a call to action, one of the conference missions.
