Dear Undergraduate Conference Participants:

Please arrive before 9:00am. The conference will begin with coffee and refreshments at 8:00am. Opening remarks will start promptly at 8:45am with the first presentations at 9:00am. Lunch will be provided. The conference will end around 6:30pm. All events will take place in Royce Hall.

Attendance: As a sign of respect for your fellow students, please plan to attend the full conference, not just your own panel. Everyone has put a lot of work into their presentations and each presenter deserves the attention of other participants. Keep in mind that many students are traveling from as far away as San Diego, Santa Barbara and even Berkeley to participate. Support your fellow scholars!

Presentations: If you are planning to do a slideshow presentation, please email it to the organizer a week before. We are only accepting Google Slides presentations, due to the Zoom hybrid nature of the conference. We regret that we are unable to accept presentations in other formats (Prezi, PowerPoint, etc). You only need to send the Google Slides link once, and you can continue to make edits to your slideshow. We also advise that you bring your presentation on a flash drive, as a back up.

Include your first and last name in the Google Slides file title. Ex: “Joe Bruin-2025 Slavic Conference Presentation”.

Please email your Google Slides link to tivanovasullivan@humnet.ucla.edu and lisset@humnet.ucla.edu by April 22, 2025.

Attire: Conferences tend to be rather formal so you should dress accordingly.

The Conference will be held in Royce Hall at UCLA.
