Student Financial Services Conference Call for Presentations

Do you have a story to tell, a success to share, research to convey? The SFS conference program committee invites you to submit a proposal to present a concurrent session at the 2012 Student Financial Services Conference being held March 10-12, 2013, at the Renaissance Austin Hotel in Austin, TX.

We are reserving several sessions for campus presentations highlighting an issue or topic of concern from which you feel the audience of bursars, student financial services directors, business officers, and others would benefit. Submissions should fall into at least one of the three topic areas: Organizational, Technical, and Interpersonal. They may come from campus administrators or members of the corporate community.

We are seeking presentations on (but not limited to) the following topics:

Technology innovations
Financial literacy
Compliance
Military and veterans education
Creative/Innovative collection techniques
International payments
Managing IDs and One Cards

Some key considerations to keep in mind as you prepare your proposal:

Include as much detail as possible about the presentation.
Include 2-3 specific learning objectives or audience takeaways
Gear the presentation towards an audience at the intermediate level of understanding, rather than basic treatments or overviews
