IMPORTANT!  Please read this page before registering! 
It will save you time in the long run!!

ONLINE FORM. To register to present at the Mount David Summit, please use the online registration form.  This form can be read using Safari, FireFox and Internet Explorer.

The form is self-explanatory; remember to complete all required fields and any fields that apply to you.  Like many Web forms, you enter information and proceed to the next page.  You can leave fields blank, but you must complete all required fields before submitting your registration for advisor approval.  If you start a registration and don't complete it, you can return to that registration and complete it at a later time.  The next time you log in, your previous registration will appear. Just click and edit.

You can edit fields or your abstract, but once you hit "submit," you can't make a change on any information until after your advisor has reviewed your registration. Note: The "Submit to Advisor for Approval" link is at the bottom of the registration page. You must click that link to actually submit your registration.

ABSTRACT.  Your abstract of 150 words or less must be entered to register.  We prefer that you submit your abstract as a Word attachment (single-spaced/no smart quotes) , however as an alternative, you may type your abstract in the text box. (Abstracts that contain symbols and/or special characters MUST be attached rather than entering the text in the text box.)

A note on "abstracts":  An abstract is a one-paragraph summary of the work you are presenting.  It should be clear and concise, because it will be published on the Web and in the printed program.

If your abstract or title changes after your registration has been approved, send revisions to: mtdavidsummit@bates.edu

 

GROUP PRESENTATIONS:  If you are registering on behalf of a co-presenter or a group, you MUST provide each presenter's email address in the space provided!  If you don't, your co-presenters fall off the Summit radar screen! When you register, your name appears under "Presenters". Click "Add" to add a co-presenter.

ONLINE ADVISOR APPROVAL. Your registration automatically sends an e-mail to the project advisor asking for approval of the presentation. You MUST have an advisor’s approval to participate by clicking "Submit to Advisor for Approval" link at bottom of page.  (Note:  Advisors will not approve registrations without abstracts.)

REGISTRATION DEADLINE. You MUST register by February 12. Late registrations will not be accepted, so if you are working in a course or department that requires participation in the Summit, you need to get on the stick and sign up by 2/12!

We require registration by February 12 so that we will have time to build the schedule, do publicity, book rooms, arrange media, and produce the program. We cannot do that if people are registering late!

Special Note to Poster Presenters:  THIS YEAR WE MUST LIMIT POSTERS TO 110 (55 in each session) SO POSTER REGISTRATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED FIRST-COME, FIRST SERVED!  And remember, your registration must be approved by your faculty project advisor before we count you in!

MEDIA NEEDS. When you register, you are asked to submit your media requests (PowerPoint, TVs, etc.). Please provide this information when you register. NO media requests can be fit into the tech schedule after March 17.

POWERPOINT USERS.  All students with PowerPoint presentations MUST submit their presentations to Classroom Technology and Event Support (CTES) staff located in Pettigrew 118D no later than 9 AM on Thursday, April 1- no exceptions!  Presentations may be brought on a flash drive, CD-ROM or copied from Paris.The CTES staff will load your presentation onto the appropriate classroom computer in Pettengill.  You cannot use your own computer to do your presentation, nor can you load your presentation the day of the Summit.  It is too risky and puts other people’s presentations in jeopardy.

POWERPOINT WORKSHOP.  Academic Computing is offering a different one-hour workshop for Summit presenters on designing and refining your PowerPoint presentation.  The workshop will be offered TBA.
