Student Abstract Competition
Deadline: 28th February 2011
Using the Official Abstract Submission Template (English) or Formulaire officiel de présentation des résumes (French) and following submission guidelines in the Instructions for Submitting your Abstract on the conference website, please submit abstracts to be considered in the Student Abstract Competition to: CBS2011@HorizonNB.ca on or before the 28th February 2011 deadline.
Students are welcome to submit the same abstract to both the student competition and the general competition. However, if the same abstract is chosen for both, the student only presents once.
Students are only allowed to submit one (1) abstract to the competition, since each student is only allowed to win one of these awards per year.
The 6 students whose abstracts are selected for this competition will receive cheques for $500 at the annual Student Business Meeting, Thursday June 2, 2011 5:00-6:00 PM.
NEW! Student Presentation Skills Building Workshop
A new student program for 2011, the purpose of the CBS/SCB Student Workshop is to recognize quality student abstracts and to build on the skills of presenters. Successful applicants will be awarded a Certificate of Distinction at the Student-Workshop, Saturday June 4, 2011 8:00-9:00AM.
Deadline: February 28, 2011
To be considered for the Student Workshop, please check mark the box labelled "Student – Workshop" when you submit your abstracts using the Official Abstract Submission Template (English) or Formulaire officiel de présentation des résumes (French) and follow submission guidelines in the Instructions for Submitting your Abstract on the conference website.
The 2 students whose abstracts are selected for this competition will present at the workshop. A panel of 2 workshop "mentors" will provide constructive feedback on the style and content of the presented material.
All students and general membership who register for the 22nd CBS/SCB annual conference in Saint John, New Brunswick are invited to attend the workshop – no special registration is required. So come out and support the workshop winners and receive presentation feedback that may also enhance your own presentation and abstract writing skills!
Do you want to volunteer at the 22nd CBS conference?
Take advantage of this year's low student conference registration fees and help us fundraise for student programs! We need the help of hardy student volunteers to sell t-shirts and totes (all proceeds will go directly to the student program budget). We are also looking for student volunteers to help hand out registration packages and room host during concurrent sessions. Please email Jennifer or Anca if you are interested!
