Stander Symposium
Stander Symposium 2022
The Brother Joseph W. Stander Symposium is Wednesday, April 20, 2022.
Since 1990, the University of Dayton has sponsored the annual Brother Joseph W. Stander Symposium to recognize, showcase, and celebrate mentored academic and artistic accomplishments in undergraduate and graduate education.
The Stander provides multiple opportunities to support students, explore other disciplines and topics, and engage with our mission as a Catholic and Marianist University in a unique and powerful way. Please encourage others to support students by attending. The Symposium represents the Marianist tradition of education through community and is the principal campus-wide event in which faculty and students actualize our mission to be a "community of learners."
Undergraduate classes do not meet on the day of the symposium, allowing for participation from the entire campus community. Graduate/Doctoral classes 4:30 and after will meet as scheduled. Graduate classes (or seminars) that might meet before 4:30, are advised to use discretion in making decisions to ensure the needs of graduate students participating in the Stander Symposium are accommodated.
2022 Symposium Registration
Online registration for the 2022 Brother Joseph W. Stander Symposium will be available on February 1, 2022 in Porches on the Stander Symposium page found in the top right menu under Campus. The deadline to register projects is Tuesday, March 8, 2022 at 11:59 p.m.
The 2022 Stander Symposium will be held in-person on Wednesday, April 20 from 9a-4:30p with session occurring concurrently in multiple buildings across campus. We will host four 75 minute poster sessions in Kennedy Union Ballroom. The Stander will schedule presentations following the registration deadline and notify presenters of their assigned location and time. A full schedule will be published on the website in April 2022.
Poster: 3-5 minutes for recorded poster presentations.
Oral Presentation: We recommend 20 minutes for live oral presentations; this allows 15 minutes to present and 5 minutes for questions. For recorded presentations 10-15 minutes is recommended.
Panel Discussion: A panel is a group of 3-4 presenters (or more) with a moderator on a shared topic and represent a variety of perspectives. Panels work best when the presenters interact with one another and the audience, and organized around a series of questions. We recommend 20-30 minutes for live panel discussions; 10-20 minutes for recorded panels.
Visual Arts Display and Performance: Displays can be either physical or digital, and performances can be live or on video. Consider including a brief discussion by the presenters to engage the audience. We recommend 10-15 minutes for live performances and displays; 8-10 minutes for recorded performances and displays.
Other Presentation Format (i.e. competitions, forums, interactive sessions, workshops, etc.) should be proposed to the Stander Coordinator as soon as possible.
