2020 CACSD Conference Call for Proposals

Theme: Generation Z: Hope of the Future? Generation Z is the current reality in our residence halls and classrooms. Sometimes we speak about the challenges and problems this generation presents. At this conference we would like to look at some of the signs of hope this Generation offers to our campuses and world.

The workshop sessions are 75 minutes in length and are offered concurrently 2-3 times within the conference schedule. Conference participants can choose the workshops they want to attend, which means the number of participants can range from 3-15 depending on the 'popularity' of the workshop topic. We invite new and experienced student development professionals, professors, and other interested speakers to submit workshop proposals. Please note that a workshop can take many forms; be it presentation of content or facilitation of process, all are welcome.

We encourage workshop proposals that speak directly to our conference theme (as stated above) or that are reflective of any aspect related to the field of Student Development. Our hope is that submissions would illuminate research, theories, experiences, and principles that will encourage a greater sense of purpose and intentionality in the lives of participants as well as excellence in carrying out the work we do as student development professionals.

If you know of others that are experts in any field of student development (including areas of career development, campus ministries, disability services, etc.) we encourage you to share with them both the conference and the opportunity to present. Proposal Submission Deadline: April 14, 2020

If you have any questions or require further clarification as you develop your proposal, please contact: Michael Ferber at michael.ferber@kingsu.ca
