Call for Presentations

EMU is hosting the Michigan Association of Planning (MAP) Student Conference at the Student Center on Friday, February 6th, 2009. We are seeking brief presentations from students and young professionals of no more than 25 minutes.

One purpose of the Student Conference is to give students an opportunity to present work done for a class or an internship to people, both fellow students and professionals, from around the state. Having done a professional presentation looks great on a resume, and provides good practice doing something any planner will have to do many times over the course of a career!

The deadline for proposal submissions is Thursday, November 6th. Proposals need be no more than 50 words in length.

Proposals can be submitted online at the MAP website

Space for presenters is limited, and once all submissions are in the best proposals will be selected by a committee of students and professionals.

As the host school, it would look wonderful to have a good turnout of students and young professionals from EMU doing presentations. If you're unsure about what to present, or a bit nervous, talk to your professors: they're really excited to help you.

If you have any questions, contact Adam Cook at acook10@emich.edu.
