Student Veterans of America (SVA) will hold its 11th Annual National Conference (NatCon) at the Coronado Springs Resort in Orlando, Florida, January 3-5, 2019. NatCon is an annual forum that strengthen ties between the veteran and higher education communities. As the largest gathering of student veterans, higher education leaders, policy makers, and stakeholders—making NatCon the premier event for improving veteran success. Be part of the #NatCon2019 program. Submit your breakout session proposal today!
SVA encourages proposals that advance knowledge and understanding of a wide range of topics relating to veterans in higher education. Proposals should address relevant topics on chapter/club management and sustainability, student veteran experiences throughout their educational life cycle—to, through, and beyond college, and higher education policies, programs, and services; increase the knowledge and skills of veterans, students, higher education professionals, and the public; and promote the continued development and growth of the field.
Those who work within and across such fields as veterans, higher education, college students, disability studies, alumni relations, chapter-based management and sustainability, leadership, public policy; and those in state and federal agencies, philanthropic organizations, veteran service organizations (VSOs), higher education associations, and other entities that work with or in the veteran or higher education spaces are welcome to submit proposals for consideration.
For more details on #NatCon2019 Call for Proposals download and review the Proposal Submission Guidelines. For updates on #NatCon2019 visit the conference website.
We are also looking for volunteers to help score and recommend proposals for #NatCon2019. The strength and success of NatCon’s breakout session stems from the rigor of our review process. Each year, the NatCon Proposal Committee receives diverse proposals covering a multitude of topics. We need a diverse group of reviewers to mirror the diversity of proposals. Reviewers from all backgrounds have knowledge and skills gained from their professional and personal experience that would be useful in providing comments and recommendations for #NatCon2019 proposals. This is a great opportunity for professional development in learning about a conference’s Call for Proposal process and you will help make the #NatCon2019 program our best yet. To learn more about the proposal review process, please see our Call for Reviewers announcement.
