CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Proposal Submission Requirements
All NHETC ’24 submissions should include the name, title, and email address of the proposed presenter(s). If multiple presenters are listed, the first person should represent the lead contact. The lead contact will be responsible for disseminating all correspondence from ACUE to co-presenters. All presenters are required to register for the conference at a discounted conference registration rate of $399.
All sessions will be 60-minutes long, inclusive of questions and answers and time for reflection. Reflection is an important part of the learning process, and, at the end of each session, all attendees will be asked to reflect on the learned content in a journal provided by NHETC.
The NHETC Program Committee has identified three themes that are interconnected in their relation to accelerating the student success movement in the classroom, on campus and across Higher Education. The topics provided serve as suggestions, as out-of-the box thinking and innovative ideas that align with the overall themes are both encouraged and welcome. Preference will be given to the proposals that sufficiently reflect what you have done or are planning to do in these areas.
