Dear Dr. Renee Middleton,

I'm currently an associate professor in the department of Psychological
Science. I wanted to let you know about the diversity research symposium I'm
organizing at Ball State University. Below is a call for submissions.  I
hope you will submit a proposal and join us in November.  

Also, please forward the e-mail to students, staff, and faculty in ANY
discipline at your institution who might be interested in presenting their
research or attending the symposium.

Thanks so much,

Linh

You are invited to submit a proposal to present your diversity related
research and writing via a 15-minute talk, a poster, or a facilitated
discussion. Papers and research studies already published and/or presented
elsewhere are welcome. Presenting at the symposium offers you the
opportunity to share your diversity research and writing with other
participants and to be

eligible for the following awards:

.. Creative Content Presentation Award: Outstanding poster or presentation
judged to have the most creative and original content

.. Creative Methodology Presentation Award: Outstanding poster or
presentation judged to have used the most creative and original research
methodology

.. GLBT Presentation Award: Outstanding poster or presentation judged to
contribute the most to the knowledge and/or awareness of gay, lesbian,
bisexual, transgendered issues.

Each award winner will receive a certificate, and each winning
poster/presentation will receive a check for $200. The symposium committee
will determine the best posters and/or presentations. Winners will be
announced at the event.
