Annotation | This article describes the use of programme descriptions to facilitate undergraduate student presentations at professional conferences. Students in a Psychology of Aging class at Worcester State College wrote papers that detailed new, innovative, or unusual programmes and agencies that assist older adults. The best papers were selected for possible presentation and revised by the student author until they were suitable for submitting at presentations at a professional conference. To date, 21 students have had their work accepted for presentation at national and regional conferences. The entire process is discussed, from inception of ideas through submission of the paper to conference planners. (AKM). |
