CALL FOR PAPERS/ABSTRACTS

The 25^th Annual Meeting brings us back again to Long Beach, CA, where the Society has its roots.  The Alpha Chapter at California State University Long Beach and the nearby Beta Chapter at California State University Fullerton are hosting the event to be held at the beautiful Renaissance Long Beach Hotel, Thursday March 31 and Friday April 1, 2011. 

We encourage submissions representing all areas of study that promote global awareness through a range of programs and experiences. The increasing interest in international opportunities and promotion of scholarship in this shrinking world create new challenges.  We hope that this conference will provide an environment where students, staff, faculty and interested groups can highlight their efforts.   

There will be several submission formats to select from:

a)     Full papers that are intended for publication in the Conference Proceedings, a special edition of the Medallion. We will schedule oral  summaries of  approximately fifteen minutes to allow authors to highlight significant aspects of their work that may be described in more detail in the publication. 

b)     Short papers for oral presentations of approximately fifteen minutes.

c)     Poster presentations, either as physical posters or as PowerPoint presentations presented in a large room format on Friday afternoon, April 1, to encourage participation, especially on the part of students.  Awards will be given out for the best student presentations in this event.

Instructions for Authors: For all formats described above, authors should download the Abstract Submission Form (MS Word), and submit the following information:  (1) title of presentation, (2) name(s) of author(s), along with title(s), (3) institutional/organizational affiliation , (4) postal address, (5) phone number(s), (6) email address, and (7) a short abstract (300 words maximum). The level should be appropriate for a non-specialist reader.

Please submit these items electronically to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it   by January 15, 2011. Submissions will be acknowledged via email.  Abstracts of accepted submissions will be posted on the Society's website after the conclusion of the conference. For those submitting full papers to be considered for publication in the Conference Proceedings, the final version will be due March 1, 2011.

Additional information regarding registration and other details will be posted on the website shortly at www.phibetadelta.org.
