Tips for making a poster

Where to start:

  • Watch our poster workshop video series here!

  • Find a faculty member to help you choose a subject.

  • Gather information- online, from the library, from your faculty members...

  • Look at examples of other posters to get ideas on how to structure your own.

  • Make your own poster and share it with others to get feedback!

Tips for networking

The Basics:

  • Be curious! There is no such thing as a stupid question.

  • Don't be shy - introduce yourself to new people.

  • Find a speaker and tell them what you liked about their talk.

  • Find somebody to share thoughts and questions about the talks.

  • Ask questions! For example:

    • What kind of research do you do?

    • What institution are you at and how you like it?

    • What was your experience as an undergrad and/or grad student?
