Conference Formal Response

A formal response is a written assessment of presented work at the UFVA Conference. Formal responses are given by UFVA members (faculty, students or professionals) presenting at the conference. A formal response needs to be requested at the time of submission to the conference. Respondents are assigned by the conference chairs and are announced when the conference schedule is made public.

Formal responses may be used in a member’s tenure and promotion portfolio.
