2011 Phi Alpha Theta Regional Conference
Saturday 26 March 2011
At Virginia Wesleyan College, Norfolk/Va. Beach, VA
Paper submission, Registration and Fee Payment Deadline: Friday February 18, 2011
Virginia Wesleyan College is proud to host the 2011 Phi Alpha Theta History Honor Society VA Regional Conference. We invite PAT members from all VA campuses to submit graduate and undergraduate papers on any topic of history. Papers submitted (four copies plus completed registration form, please) by the February 18 deadline will be judged by historians outside the state for awards in Graduate and Undergraduate divisions of World, European, and United States History. Papers submitted to be judged may be of any reasonable length; however, by the time of the conference students must refine and edit their papers into a 20 minute presentation, which equals about 10-11 typed, double spaced pages when read aloud. Each of our conference rooms is equipped with computer, projector, and Video/DVD technology for those who choose to use it.
A registration fee of $25 and a completed registration form (attached) must accompany four copies of each paper submission. The registration fee helps us provide morning snacks, a buffet luncheon, an honorarium for the keynote speaker, and prizes for all our student winners.
Detailed travel and lodging directions to follow.
