Conference Opportunity for ALES204 Undergrads


Nominations are now open for participation in the third annual 2012 AP/IB conference scheduled for Saturday March 10, 2012 in CCIS.  This is a fantastic opportunity for U of A faculty members to share their research with a super engaged group of high achieving Grade 11 & 12 students from across Alberta.  ALES has had panel representation in each of the past two years and I encourage faculty members from all program areas and departments to consider sharing their expertise at the 2012 conference.   The theme for 2012 remains unchanged from last year and is Exploring Global Change

Action Item: If you would like to be considered as a panel presenter at this event, please respond to me by Friday, October 28 with your name, along with 2-3 sentences describing the topic on which you are willing to present as it relates to the Exploring Global Change theme.  I will forward all names received by October 28 to the planning committee who is responsible for final speaker selection.

Background information on the event is provided below, as well as in the attached 2011 conference program.
