The CREATES (Creativity and Research on Education, Arts, Technology, Enterprise and Science) Conference provides a stage for students to showcase academic research, experiential learning and creative efforts completed at Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC). The GGC Undergraduate Research, Scholarship and Creative Activities (URSCA) Committee organizes CREATES.
The URSCA Committee is requesting submissions for the event. They will compile the CREATES Conference Proceedings, which include all presentation abstracts.
The submission form (GGC login required) — due 11:59 p.m. Friday, Oct. 31. — may be completed by either student presenters or faculty advisors. Please note that incomplete or late submissions cannot be guaranteed a place in the program.
Faculty advisors are expected to be available during their students’ presentations to serve as session moderators. If an advisor is unable to moderate, a substitute moderator must be designated in the submission form.
In some cases, a member of the URSCA Committee may serve as a session moderator; however, this must be arranged in advance with the URSCA Committee chair before submitting the presentation.
Faculty advisors moderating hybrid sessions should ensure that both they and their student presenters are familiar with the presentation and moderation functions in Zoom.
