Roundtable Discussions
Roundtables allow participants to discuss and share ideas with each other on a topic of shared
interest with the aid of a facilitator. These small, informal discussions may focus on nascent research or program ideas to facilitate collaboration around shared interests to strengthen future projects. They also serve as opportunities for conversation and community building among leadership educators with similar interests.
During roundtable sessions, facilitators should provide a brief introduction to the topic and allow attendees to discuss and share ideas with each other. The facilitator serves as a guide and frames the conversation and encourages active discussion from the group.
Each roundtable session will last 45 minutes and participants are encouraged to come and go between roundtables during the session as they please. Facilitators should be prepared to engage attendees as they come and go.
Session length: 45 minutes
Submission word limit: 500 words (excluding abstract and references)
See the Submission Formatting Guidelines and the Roundtable Discussion Submission Template for details.
