Research in Rural Entrepreneurship Track
Track Chairs: Lou Marino, University of Alabama | Michael Conger, Miami University
The Research in Rural Entrepreneurship Track is designed for researchers who have extended abstracts focusing on various rural entrepreneurship-related topics. In addition to presenting their findings, we ask that during the presentation, scholars discuss how the findings inform the teaching and learning of entrepreneurship. Presentations will consist of presenting a 10-15 minute summary of the abstract and answering questions from both live and virtual participants for a total of a 20-minute presentation.

Learning Innovations Track
Track Chairs: Georgann Jouflas, Colorado Mesa University | Lane Perry, Western Carolina University
The Learning Innovations Track is designed for rural entrepreneurship educators to demonstrate classroom or curricular experiences that are relevant for rural entrepreneurship and the learning experience. During the sessions in this track, you will have 15-20 minutes to describe or to run your exercise. Please allow 5-10 minutes for Q&A, and be prepared to connect virtually following the session with attendees on the online platform if they have additional questions. Keep in mind hybrid accessibility may require you to demonstrate this a second time for a virtual audience.

Innovative Programming Track
Track Chair: Erik Monsen, University of Vermont | Bob Milner, Sam Houston State University
The Innovative Programming Track is for presenters to share their new, creative, and/or innovative programming that is happening in rural ecosystems. Presenters should be prepared to provide a summary of the program, and also explain why they feel it is different from current program offerings, what problems or challenges the program was designed to address. Accepted submissions in this category will have the opportunity to present their program in a 15-20 minute session during the Symposium.
