Being involved in the organization of this event is one of the most important things you can do while attending university; it is a great way to get involved within the department and meet people outside of classes, it opens up network opportunities throughout North America, and of course, stands out on the ol' CV/Resume. For those new to Chacmool, the conference is organized entirely by undergrads, with the help/guidance of a couple faculty members and several graduate students. The conference takes almost a full year of planning. This needs to be started now. The first step in the process is choosing the theme of the next Conference. To date, we have not had a theme proposal submitted. Here is what a proposal requires in order to be accepted. 1) Theme - General theme/topic for the conference (can be a catchy name!) examples from past conferences: - Eat, Drink, and Be Merry: The Archaeology of Foodways - Archaeology in the Public Eye - Archaeology in the new Millennium: Public or Perish - Tools of the Trade: Methods, Techniques, and Innovative Approaches in Archaeology - Art for Archaeology's Sake - Networks of the Past: Regional Interaction in Archaeology 2) Description - A paragraph explaining the theme, it's importance to Archaeology, possible plenary and keynote speakers, possible session topics, etc -info that could appear on a call for abstracts 3) Signatures - A total of 7 people are needed to sign the proposal, committing their themselves to organizing and planning for the full year. - 2 faculty members (professors) - 2 graduate students - 3 undergraduate students (one of whom will be the conference chair (top of the pyramid!). The undergraduates need to be students who will be around next year (not graduating and leaving) If you are interested, would like to see examples from past conferences, or want to get involved (there are about 12 Executive Committee positions to fill), swing by the Chacmool Office (ES 826) and talk to one of the us. The office hours are Mon/Fri - 11 am - 1 pm Tues/Thurs - 1-3 pm This is a great opportunity and experience that should not be overlooked (especially those planning to continue in Archaeology)! PROPOSAL SUBMISSION DUE DATE: Wednesday Dec 1, 2010 VOTE ON SUBMITTED PROPOSALS: Friday Dec 3, 2010 Cheers, Chacmool Archaeology Association http://people.ucalgary.ca/~chacmool/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
