For those of you who are giving short talks, please note that we will have the department’s laptop downstairs early, so you can upload your presentation before the everything starts. Also, it would be wise to have your talk loaded on a thumb drive in case there are issues with the laptop.
For those of you who are presenting posters, please note the following:
1:00pm - 1:30pm Poster set-up time.
1:30pm - 3:00pm Poster Presentation and Networking
1. In preparing your poster, please be aware that each tack board is 4’ tall by 6’ wide and it sits about 2 ½’ off the ground. All materials need to fit into this area.
2. You will be responsible for putting up and taking down your poster(s) (don’t forget push-pins) and please make sure you have someone available to answer questions about your poster, even though there’s not a "formal" presentation or assigned time.
3. If you are presenting a poster, please be sure to email your name and poster title to Katie Kovalick at [email protected].
