Papers from all disciplines will be considered, including creative writing, math, and science. Papers should be roughly seven pages or take approximately fifteen minutes to present. They must have been written as part of a UMKC class. Please submit a 300-word abstract of your paper to umkclitforlife@gmail.com by March 14.
