You may choose either portrait or landscape orientation, but the size can be no larger than 36” x 48”  or 48” x 36”  in order to fit in the space available.

Some guidelines when preparing your poster:

• Include: Title, names of all authors and your mentor, and department. Email contact is usual but not required

• All text must be readable at a typical viewing distance.  Minimum of 24pt font for body text and larger for headings

• All figures should be large enough to see and interpret from a distance – that includes font sizes for labels and scales

• Acknowledgements should include: collaborators, coworkers and importantly funding sources

• Citations should include essential references to past published or web-sourced works that informed your research. (Citations need not be comprehensive for your project.)

• Work with your advisor / mentor as you prepare your poster.
