Can round tables go on my CV?

[RedPill]

So I have the possibility of convening a round table discussion at an annual conference for a organization that is not necessarily a professional organization like American ____ Association..but academics may attend and/or present.

 

'll be applying to masters programs this fall, so I won't really have any official designation as "student from X graduate program." The rond table will be part of a project that I'm working on as a summer intern. 

 

Is this something that can be cited on my CV under presentations? The participants will be pretty high level people and it's very relevant to my field. It's something I want people to know about even though it's not a traditional presentation.

 I think that you can include this. In my field, I see academics include this as a type of service, along with things like "Referee for _____ Journal", or "Served on panel for _____ grant"  or perhaps as a chair/co-chair of conference session. I don't usually see this, in my field, listed in the same way as one might list a conference publication/presentation or as a paper though.

 

Usually only senior grad students are asked to peer review papers so this type of stuff doesn't generally show up until a student is closer to the end of the PhD. So, for you, if you don't have anything else to go in this section, it might be strange to have a section by itself. If you have only this item, perhaps you can include it with other service that you have completed or just as a major entry in your "experience" section where you describe this internship.

In my field you do include service on your CV, such as reviewing for a conference/journal/grant agency and conference organization (chairing a session at a conference sounds like a stretch, I would not include it but I suppose some might). Organizing a roundtable would count as service and I'd put it on my CV as such. I suppose you could count it as a presentation if you also participate in the roundtable, too.

Yikes.. I apologize for the ridiculous amount of typos in my first post.

 

Thanks for the input. Given I'm an undergraduate, I have a "leadership" category consisting of club leadership positions, professional leadership positions etc.

 

Apart from that, I have a publication section and a presentation section. I don't really have a service section.. I do have some service work.. I suppose it could work.

I have a similar section to your "leadership" category but I call it something like "service" instead. I didn't include things that were not related to my career though. That is, I did not include something like "president of basketweaving club" but I did have things that are academic (e.g. VP of a physics student society) or things outside of academia but involves related skills (volunteer instructor for youth group).

You might be best to list it under your internship to highlight it as an accomplishment, rather than making it look like a random factoid you tried to make into its own section.
