CCUMC annual conference: call for proposals

["Clark, Jeff" <clarkjc@xxxxxxx>]

Colleagues,

For those who have not received this notice elsewhere, I'd like to remind you
that CCUMC has a vital interest in copyright, digital content licensing, and
technology within higher education. It offers opportunity both for learning
and presenting. I'd like to encourage those of you whose professional
interests may align but who don't know the organization, to consider making
our next annual conference an introductory experience to which you can also
contribute. But please note that time is short for submission of proposals!

CCUMC: Leadership in Media & Academic Technology
2010 Annual Conference

October 6 - 10, 2010
Buffalo, New York
Hosted by the University at Buffalo

Call for Presentation Proposals

About the Conference
The CCUMC Annual Conference is the premier annual event for the sharing of
knowledge and wisdom about media and academic technology in higher education
institutions throughout North America. CCUMC's 2010 conference promises to be
the best yet, with a fun, exciting, and informative mix of 24 scheduled
concurrent sessions, 6 interest groups, and daily keynotes and general
sessions.  This year's conference will include a special campus tour of
University at Buffalo facilities highlighting media, academic technology, and
learning spaces, as well as an outing to Niagara Falls for a tour and dinner.
More information about the conference is at: http://ccumc.buffalo.edu

Invitation to present
CCUMC invites members and other interested parties to submit proposals for
presentations to be considered for inclusion into the conference program.
Each concurrent session is allotted a one hour time slot for their program,
which generally includes 45 minutes for a formal presentation and additional
time for Q&A or discussion.  Presentations may be made by individuals, or by
panels of presenters from one or more institution.  Although the tone of the
CCUMC Annual Conference is decidedly informal, presentations are expected to
be professional and thorough, as they will represent the presenters, their
institutions, and CCUMC.

CCUMC encourages both a variety and depth of presentation proposals centered
around leadership and the convergence of media, technology, and learning in
higher education.  A sampling of topics of interest include:
