Greetings from
the CSTEP Conference Planning Committee! We hope you
are all having a successful fall semester with your
students, and are already looking forward to spring
semester and the CSTEP Conference! The 20th
Annual CSTEP Conference will be held April 13-15, 2012
at The Sagamore on Lake George, Bolton Landing, NY.
“Celebrating 25 Years of CSTEP in New York State!”
The Planning Committee has been quite busy preparing
for the 2012 Conference, as you will see with the attached
materials. We are striving to make this year’s
conference the best ever, with this in mind here are
some highlights:
- The registration fee is the same
as last year, to reflect the budget constraints
facing our programs;
- The Pre-Conference Professional Development
Workshop on Friday afternoon, to make better
use of the students’ time upon arrival;
- The Registration Area will open at 10:00 a.m.,
to encourage earlier arrival at
The Sagamore, and allow the students’ to attend
the Pre-Conference Professional Development Workshop;
- The Opening Plenary Session to Friday late afternoon,
so that the students participating in the poster
competition early Saturday morning can attend;
- The Friday night Pep Rally will include the administration
of the CSTEP Oath and our CSTEP Roll-Call;
- Each institution will be allowed to submit a total
of 6 posters for the competition. Posters will be
judged according to the enclosed rubric. Please
refer to the Poster Competition Guidelines for additional
details;
- An Award for Distinctionfor the Oral Presentations
has been added.Students participating in the orals
are asked to submit their abstract and Powerpoint
presentations prior to the conference. The
Oral Presentations sub-committee, using
the attached rubric,will select a student per category
to receive the award at the conference.
Please read the Registration Packet in its entirety,
as it contains information on various aspects of the
conference, including a Call for Workshop Proposals,
a Call for Judges, a Student Ambassador Nomination Form,
and an invitation for your institution to send representative(s)
to the Graduate School/Career Fair, and much, much more!
Please make sure to send your COMPLETE registration
