Why are we asking for your resume and your certifications including expiration dates?
We know we are asking a lot by asking you to upload your resume and your certification (including the certification number and expiration date). This is required for accreditation purposes and continuing education credits. Our number one goal is student development so don't forget that! You won't be disqualified by not having the 'perfect' resume or 37 certifications, we just have to have it on file so we can provide all of our attendees with CECs (and that's important to us as well.)
Who can present?
We are looking for students and faculty/staff from various colleges & universities to present. After all, it is called the Southeast Collegiate Fitness Expo. Community and corporate presentations may be considered with a partnership package. Reach out to Tori Lord, tori.lord@uncc.edu, if you are looking to sponsor a session.
When are proposals due?
Presentation proposals were due on DECEMBER 10th but have been extended to 11:59pm on DECEMBER 17TH, 2021!!!!!!!
When will you know if you were selected?
