Faculty Information

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I get involved with Beacon?

Be a mentor. Encourage students who produce excellent work in your classes to consider submitting their work to Beacon. Work with them to revise their papers for submission and, if the papers are chosen, for presentation at the conference.

Be a reader. Read and rank 5-10 papers submitted to Beacon in your discipline. No written comments are expected. Contact the co-directors for more information or just fill out a reader form.

Be a moderator. Faculty at the host campus can volunteer to moderate one of the panels where students present their papers (in your own or another discipline). Click here to "get involved."

Be a supporter. Let students and other faculty know about Beacon. Attend the Beacon conference in June. Support the students and hear some excellent presentations.

What if my college is not involved with Beacon?
Contact the Beacon co-directors for Beacon 2005 for information about becoming a sponsoring college. Encourage your college's president, provost, or dean to join Beacon as an institutional member. An annual membership of $500 or $1000 platinum membership helps cover the cost of the conference.
