Presenter Info
Preparing for Your Poster Presentations
A poster summarizes your research or creative project. It should be visually engaging and academically sound. Your poster may include charts, tables, figures, footnotes, references, and other supporting information. This will help you determine what and how much content to include.

Important Notes for Art Exhibit Presenters
Remember, the master schedule has your session time and location. Please note that all Visual Art Exhibits will be in the Conference Center (building 22) on the other side of the Commons.
If you haven't already, please work and communicate with your faculty mentor and department's point of contact for this event (Dr. Carrie Fonder for the Art Exhibit) to discuss any special needs and requests. Requests for needs are due Thursday, April 11, at 11:59 p.m.
Please plan on setting up your artwork on Wednesday, April 17, between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. Please note that all set-ups must be completed before 5 p.m.

Important Notes for Engineering Showcase Presenters
Remember, your session time and location are in the master schedule. The Engineering Showcase will be on Cannon Green outside Building 22 from 10 a.m. to noon.
It's crucial to collaborate with your faculty mentor and department's point of contact for this event (Electrical and Computer Engineering - Drs. Yazan Alqudah and Sridhar Natarajan; Mechanical Engineering point of contact: Dr. John Stutz) to discuss any special needs and requests. Please complete the shared sheet, Engineering Showcase - Request for Electricity and Tables, to ensure you have the equipment for your exhibit. This sheet is due Thursday, April 11, at 11:59 pm. We will use this sheet to communicate with Facilities how many tables and poster panels to have in the space, so if you do not communicate your needs via this form, you will not have the items you need.
On the day of the Symposium, you must arrive by 8:30 am on Thursday, April 18, to take the poster panels to the Cannon Green and set up your tables and exhibits. This early arrival ensures you are ready for the Showcase to begin at 10 am. Also, please note that you are all required to help take down the poster panels and tables at noon when the Showcase ends - please allow yourself enough time to tare down and move your exhibit to its holding location.
If you are printing a poster as part of your exhibit, please review this page for detailed information regarding putting together and printing posters. You should submit the poster to the Service Desk to print no later than Monday, April 15.
