Frequently Asked Questions

How do I register to attend?

The online registration deadline has passed. You may register as a "walk-in" on May 1, however you will be on your own for lunch as the catering order has been placed based on the online registration numbers.

Who can attend the Symposium?

The Symposium is open to all California Community College students plus college faculty/staff. In addition, guests such as family members are welcome. You do not have to be a presenter to attend; in fact, most attendees are there to support their college's presenters and be inspired!

I'm a presenter. In which session have I been scheduled?

The Index of Presentations along with many other handouts explaining AV issues in the classrooms can be found at the "Presenting at the Symposium" section of the site. In addition, click here to see the complete Program with presentation descriptions and more.

Do I need to bring a laptop? What kind of AV setup is there in the Presentation Rooms?

These and many other exceedingly important questions for presenters can be answered by going to the "Presenting at the Symposium" page of this website.

How were proposals selected?

A Proposal Committee made up of Honors Directors and Counselors screened all proposals and selected those that will be presented at the Symposium. This was an anonymous process meaning that names and colleges were kept secret until the selection process was completed

How many proposals were chosen?

We received approximately 130 proposals this year and were able to offer presentation spots to about 80 talks.

Is it too late to submit a Proposal?

Yes.

What is the suggested dress?

For attendees we suggest business casual. This means slacks and a button-down shirt for men and similar attire, or a professional skirt/dress for women.For presenters, you may want to go up one notch and dress as if you were going to an interview -- ties for men, and a nice pants/skirt suit or dress for women.
