Information About Abstract Submissions

 

How To Apply | Submit an Abstract

 

Students have four options for presenting their work at the conference. 

 

 

 

Upon submitting an abstract, the faculty mentor is notified to review and approve the submission. Only those submissions approved by faculty mentors will be considered by the conference scheduling committee.

Students may modify or delete their abstract submissions prior to the deadline of February 5, 2027.

Mentors approve submissions by February 12, 2027.

To do so, visit the following web page and log-in with your NetID and password:  https://webapps.wku.edu/showcase/

Faculty mentors will be notified to re-review and re-approve submissions each time students make revisions. Due to time constraints in preparing the conference schedule and program, students are not permitted to modify or delete their submissions after the deadline.

Students are notified via email by end of February regarding acceptance their submission and further details about the day of Showcase.

Submission of an abstract obligates the student to attend the conference should the project be selected for presentation.

Before submitting an abstract, students must be certain they are available on the day of the conference, March 6, 2027, to attend morning and afternoon session times from 9:00 AM until 1:30 PM. Registration will begin at 8:00 AM and be ongoing until 12:30 PM. Students who are accepted to present but fail to attend may be barred from participating in future conferences. Failure to present one's work at an academic meeting after being accepted is considered a serious scholarly offense and is not tolerated by professional organizations.
