SNP engagement: Writing, submitting, reviewing
conference proposals
by Alisha Hardman, CFLE, SNP Representative, EE Section, 20102012
December 20, 2012
Before you begin, you should:
Take advantage of information provided on the NCFR website.
Utilize the Call for Proposals which outlines criteria for proposals and
provides a very useful “Checklist for Submitting a Proposal.”
Do not procrastinate. Give yourself adequate time to prepare your
proposal.
Ask a fellow student, colleague or mentor to review your proposal
prior to submitting.
Follow the instructions provided on the Call for Proposals regarding
proposal length and elements that should be included in the
proposal.
The proposal should:
Begin with a summary of the thesis of your proposal.
Articulate a strong connection to existing research and theory.
Describe the research or practice methodology employed.
Discuss results, as well as the potential impact and implications.
Write clearly and organize logically with complete references provided.
Proposals submission
Proposals are submitted to a specific section of NCFR. Make sure that the content of your proposal is a
good fit for the interests of the section you submit to. For example, SNPs should not submit their proposals
as SNP sessions unless their proposal addresses the professional development of students and new
professionals.
Volunteer to be a Conference Proposal Reviewer
Who: Students and new professionals can serve as conference proposal reviewers!
What: Volunteer to serve as a reviewer. Each section (including the SNP section) will solicit proposal
reviewers so pay attention to the section listservs for the call for reviewers, which typically go out in
�February. If you are a member of multiple sections choose one section to review for and respond to the
reviewer request email providing the requested information.
When: Conference Proposals are due the first of March so the review process typically occurs during
the middle to end of March. You will receive an email containing a link to the proposals you are
responsible for reviewing. Reviewers are typically given a few weeks to complete the reviews, which
take only a few hours to complete.
Where: In the comfort of your own home or office! You just need a computer, internet access, and an
email address!
Why: Serving as a conference proposal reviewer is a great way to become more involved in NCFR. It is
also a great CV builder as your contribution to a professional organization shows potential employers
that you are committed to the field. Additionally, the experience of reviewing can benefit your own future
proposal submissions as you gain a better sense of what reviewers consider when they score
proposals.
How: Review and score proposals . . . reviewers will review submitted annual conference proposals via
NCFR’s online review system. A reviewer may expect to review an average of three proposals (though
this may vary). Read the abstract, use the criteria provided by NCFR to score the proposal, and enter
your score into the online system.
Skills of an effective reviewer
A good critical eye, an analytical frame of mind, familiarity with the subject, and a willingness to provide
constructive criticism are key skills necessary to produce a high caliber review.

SNP fall 2014 update: Women in academia — starting
a conversation
by Jennifer Doty, SNP Representative, Education and Enrichment Section
September 11, 2014
I’d like to start a conversation about worklife balance for students and
new professionals. In the last few years, shock waves have gone
through my community of grad students as we watch commentary
bounce back and forth from Sheryl Sandberg’s TED talk about the ways
that women hold themselves back. She pointed out that women are
less likely to be in leadership in any profession, even in nonprofits, and
that women have more challenges balancing family and career (no big
surprise to us family science people, right?).
I recently read the book, Do Babies Matter? Gender and Family in the
Ivory Tower by Anne Mason (2013). She reported that not only women
but also men in academia were less likely to have children compared to
those in other highpowered careers like lawyers and doctors. Women,
especially mothers, were less likely to get tenuretrack positions and
less likely to make tenure even if they get the job. Women were
underrepresented in academic administration and overrepresented in
adjunct faculty positions. So as students and new professionals, what
are we going to do about this?
In both her TED talk and her recent book, Sheryl Sandberg suggests
three ways that women can lean in rather than hold themselves back.
First, women tend to underestimate their potential and undersell their abilities compared to their male
colleagues. In the academic world, for example, women’s work is cited less than men, in part because
women cite their own work less than men do (Maliniak, Powers, Walder, 2013). So we need to be aware of
this, strategize, and reach for opportunities.
Next, make our partners really a partner. Full disclosure, I’m passionate about this in part because I’ve got
kids at home. Unequivocally, I could not do this without the support of my partner who was willing to pick up
the family, get a new job across the country, and gives me constant support while I’m in this doctoral
program. I recognize this as a privilege, and I also have had to let a lot go in terms of household
management.
Last, don’t stop investing in our careers before we have children. I recently talked with an undergraduate
scholar who had been accepted to a Ph.D. program, and she was considering not accepting because she
had a new boyfriend. I did my best to encourage her to lean in.
�Now, here’s the other side of the argument. In reaction to Sheryl’s TED talk, AnneMarie Slaughter wrote an
article in The Atlantic where she described her decision to step down from a powerful position in the Obama
administration because her son needed her. I find that courageous. Slaughter argued that we need to
respect the importance of family in our lives and make our environment more family friendly and supportive
of women’s careers and men’s family lives.
In our field, what would that mean? Here are a few ideas: mentors who are good examples of balancing
family and career demands; good health insurance; and policies that stop the clock for grad students and
new professionals when they have a child. According to Mason (2013), the average age that doctoral
students graduate is 33 for women and 35 for men. That means that if we follow the old advice to postpone
family formation (marriage or childbearing) until after tenure, biology will be working against us.
Bottom line, I agree with Mason that we are losing too many of our best and brightest. We need a
“both/and” solution: to look carefully at the ways we hold ourselves back and to work to change our
environment to make it a more familyfriendly place. And as family scientists, how can we lead the charge?

SNP resources and where to find them
by Andrew Behnke, SNP Representative, NCFR Board of Directors (20112012)
April 16, 2013
Student members of NCFR have often questioned where they can learn about jobs in
their field and how they can prepare to win them. Thankfully NCFR has a number of
great places to start with resources like NCFR’s “Careers in Family Science” booklet, its
online Career Center, and its resource page for Students and New Professionals. There
are also resources created by professors and university departments from around the
US. Some of these include the career options website at Messiah College and Scott
Plunkett’s resource page, among others.
In addition to resources, university faculty and community mentors will likely be your best resources for
success after graduation. Today, more and more programs have an increased focus on connecting students
with practicebased and leadership positions with community agencies and organizations. Faculty want you
to be successful and can help you explore job opportunities that you might have never considered. Work
closely with your advisor, but don’t be afraid to seek out additional mentors at your college or in your
community that are doing something you are passionate about. The more mentors you meet or work with,
the more options and opportunities you will open for yourself.
Many students are required to participate in one or more indepth internships during their education. Be
smart about it. Research potential internships way ahead of time, make some visits, and get a feel for what
you really would like to do during your internship experience. A wellthoughtout internship opportunity can
be the springboard to great job opportunities.
In addition to these traditional resources, additional online resources are being developed every day.
People like you are creating jobs online that serve individuals and families in diverse ways. Take some time
to find out how technology and innovation can benefit families and how you might become proficient
enough with them so that you can help families. Join online communities and listservs that are resources in
areas you are interested in. These listservs will help you learn about other opportunities and potential
mentors that will aid your success.
As with everything in life, be careful not to overextend yourself. Doing too many things can make it hard for
you to excel at any one of them. No matter what you do, make sure to demonstrate your ingenuity, hard
work, and ability to communicate well. These simple resources are sure to help you win success.

Writing for a Scholarly Journal by Ron M. Sabatelli,
Ph.D, CFLE
The purpose of this essay is to offer advice on how to write for publication.
Papers giving advice on how to write articles and how to succeed at
publishing, in theory, reduce the anxieties that accompany the writing
process. Advice provides information that, in turn, makes the writing
process a little less intimidating.

�Establishing yourself in the family field:
transitioning from student to professional
by Alisha M. Hardman, CFLE, Student/New Professional Representative,
Education & Enrichment Section
August 31, 2011
The transition from student to new professional may be either a gradual
process or an abrupt change. However, beginning the transition from
student to new professional prior to graduation can be extremely beneficial.
Students who begin the transition to professional early display a strong
commitment to the field and may have distinct advantages following
graduation and as they begin searching for a job.
Growing a Social Network That Works for You
By Marissa Stone, M.S., CFLE Family Science Section S/NP
June 29, 2011
We have all heard about the importance of networking since we attended
our first conference. Our professors remind us to, "Network network,
network!" But what exactly is networking, and how do we maintain
connections created after the annual conference has come and gone?
Looking for a way to get involved within NCFR?
Then getting involved in the Student/New Professional (SNP) Leadership Council is a great place to
start!

Using technology to stay connected
by Marissa Stone, SNP Representative, Family Science Section (20112012)
April 16, 2013
We all know how important it is to make (and maintain) connections we create during conferences. Of all
the benefits we get from attending conferences, the connections made during the networking events are the
most valuable, and maintaining those ties across time and space has never been so easy.
Each generation brings about new applications to help us get and stay connected. For many of us, Twitter,
Facebook and LinkedIn are a normal part of our lives. But there are some new tools out now that may take
us beyond the level of connectivity available in these applications.
The first is a Kimtag. A Kimtag is a barcode that when scanned with a mobile device takes the user directly
to a webpage of your choice. One of the ways many conference attendees are using these Kimtags now is
to include all their social media accounts in one place making it easy for people to follow you with just one
scan! No more losing someone’s card or forgetting a user name. More importantly, no more spending
money on business cards others will lose; create Kimtags in moments instead.
The second is Vizify. Vizify is an online resume tool that allows you to create an interactive online resume of
You! Vizify is free and easy to use and provides users with an excellent tool for sharing at conferences and
even in cover letters when applying for jobs. Customize it to fit your occupation and your life. Add it to your
business card, Kimtag or signature line making it easy for others to find you.
The third is Google+ Hangouts. Hangouts are userfriendly and provide connectivity on a whole new level!
With a G+ account and a webcam you can be voicechatting with colleagues anytime, anywhere, on any
device. Talk about realtime connectivity and collaboration. With Hangouts with Extras you can share
screens, documents, videos and more. Grab your virtual donuts and take a virtual coffee break with
colleagues. G+ makes you feel like everyone is all in the same room!
Get the most from the valuable networking you engaged in with everyone you met at the NCFR 2012
conference and beyond. Connect using these tools and create a lasting impression that extends well
beyond November.
To learn more about how NCFR SNPs use technology to remain connected, just stop by any of our online
social media sites and join us! We have created several places online for you to network with the NCFR
Students and New Professionals outside of conference. Find us on Facebook at NCFR Student New
Professionals. We are looking forward to connecting with you in cyberspace!
