Panel Format for Concurrent Session

Panels are expected to represent the views or perspectives of more than one institution.

Training and Development
Two 20-minute presentations paired on a similar topic and presented back-to-back. Each session should be brief and impactful. After both presentations, the last 20 minutes will consist of questions and answers. A facilitator will be assigned to keep the session concise and fast-paced.
(In-Person Only) Poster Presentation
Poster Presentation Presented in the form of a bulletin display. These sessions are most appropriate for display of specific programmatic approaches and research findings. Presenters are expected to engage with participants during the poster session.

--- New Submission Required for Workshops ---
Proposals being submitted for a Preconference Workshop (PCW) will only be evaluated for a PCW. If you would like to be considered for a Concurrent or Poster Session please submit an additional application with the appropriate format.
(In-Person Only) Preconference Workshop:2-Hour  3-Hour
Preconference workshops are designed to feature specialized topics in the advising profession. These should be highly participatory sessions that cannot by effectively addressed in another format. Session participation is limited to maximize the opportunity for interaction. All preconference workshops are on Sunday, October 4th.

--- New Proposal Submission Required for Scholarly Papers ---
Proposals being submitted for a Scholarly Paper (SP) will only be evaluated for a SP. If you would like to be considered for a Preconference Workshop, Concurrent, or Poster Session please submit an additional application with the appropriate format.
(In-Person Only) Scholarly Paper:
A scholarly paper will address an issue or question that either has been the subject of ongoing discussion/debate among scholars or that perhaps has not been recognized as a salient issue but should be. This paper may argue for a novel position on the issue at hand, or may argue for a familiar position in a novel way. The argument will make use of the methods and epistemologies of one or more academic discipline, and will do so in a way that (in addition to supporting the paper's position) models the academic discipline(s), as applied to advising.

The final manuscript should not exceed 30 double-spaced pages (excluding citations). The papers are to be uploaded into the conference portal no later than Friday, September 4th, 2026. Authors are permitted no more than 15 minutes to present during these multi-paper sessions. Authors who fail to submit their manuscript by the deadline will not be permitted to present at the conference.

Is your proposal based on the results of a survey or interview protocol distributed to NACADA members? NACADA member surveys (written or oral) must be approved PRIOR to submission of a presentation proposal.

Failure to secure approval to distribute a survey or to recruit interview participants through NACADA listservs prior to submitting a conference proposal is grounds for cancellation of a proposal/conference session.

Further, if the research study involves collection and reporting of data from human participants, the proposal must indicate that appropriate approval for Human Subjects Research (IRB protocols and/or ethics and compliance in research processes) has been received, or will be, at the time of the conference presentation.

If you have a question, please call the Executive Office (785-532-5717) or email nacada@ksu.edu.

Panels sessions typically consist of at least 3 or more presenters. Panels are formed by the lead presenter submitting the proposal, must have a moderator, and are expected to represent the perspectives of more than one institution. One of the presenters may serve as moderator for the session. When submitting a proposal, please include the names of all panelists/presenters taking part in the presentation.

Does your proposal fit this description? If not, please update your first ranking selection to the LEC option for a standard concurrent session.

Preconference Workshops (PCWs) are expected to have a lengthier abstract (250 words), a proposal outlining the interaction to take place, and a detailed explanation of materials the attendees will receive. As noted, if you would like to be considered for a Concurrent or Poster Session please submit an additional application.

Click the Okay button to continue submitting a PCW proposal or to change your session format to a Concurrent, Panel, or Poster session.

Scholarly Paper (SP) proposals will only be evaluated to be considered for a SP session. Proposals are expected to substantially outline the issue or question the paper will address, including a clear description of the methods and epistemologies of one or more academic disciplines. If accepted, the final manuscript must be uploaded by Friday, September 4th, 2026. Additional instructions will be provided for uploading the final manuscript.

Click the OKAY button to continue submitting a Scholarly Paper proposal or change your session format to a Concurrent, Panel, or Preconference Workshop session.

You may not choose a PreConference Workshop (PCW) or Scholarly Paper format and also another session type. We have cleared the PreConference workshop and Scholarly Paper selection for you at this time.
