Online Registration DEADLINE: November 6, 2009. The Indiana University Undergraduate Research Conference (IUURC) is dedicated to the promotion of undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative activity performed in partnership with faculty or other mentors as a vital component of undergraduate education at Indiana University and Indiana University-Purdue University. The conference is open to all disciplines including (but not limited to): visual and performing arts, humanities, natural and physical sciences, mathematics, engineering, business and economics, education, and nursing. Through the inauguration of this annual conference, the goal of the IUURC Steering Committee has been to create a forum for the communication, celebration and promotion of undergraduate student achievement in the IU system. The IUURC Steering Committee presents the 2009 conference theme to unify and focus discourse on a topic that touches all undergraduate researchers: Preparing for “The New Normal”. In an era of great uncertainty, a plethora of opportunities exist for those who optimize across multiple dimensions. The goal is to explore how new and original research advances our knowledge in all aspects of academia, health care, industry, and technology; and, provides solutions to the problems and limitations impacting an era marked both by uncertainty and opportunity.

The IUPUI Speech Night competition is designed to present R110 students an opportunity to experience the best principles of oral communication and persuasion in action. R110 is an introductory college-level course in communication and rhetoric focusing on preparing, delivering and evaluating extemporaneous speeches. The IUPUI Speech Night involves its students more than at many similar events at other campuses. We recognize both the importance of speaking well and of judging wisely. Each class selects its best speaker who then participates in the semifinals, addressing an audience of peer judges. The students judged to be the best in each semifinal room are the finalists we shall hear tonight. The judging panel for tonight’s event consists of members of the R110 and Communication Studies Department’s faculty whose students are not finalists. The type of speech required for Speech Night competition is the speech on A Question of Policy. It is a motivational persuasive speech organized according to Monroe's Motivated Sequence. Contestants are judged based on their effective use of Monroe’s Motivated Sequence along with other presentational elements. There is a time requirement of 6.5-7.5 minutes.
