  • Check-In Options: Presenters who do not need to pick up a printed poster may check in during the scheduled times below or on the day of the event.
    • Monday, April 14, 2025; 10 a.m. to Noon; SULB 150F
    • Tuesday, April 15, 2025; 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; SULB 150F
    • Wednesday, April 16, 2025; 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.; SULB 150F
Image of Poster Display with Dimensions
  • Posters will be displayed on easels. We recommend using hard-mounted, flat presentation boards that do not exceed 48 inches (W) x 36 inches (H). If you have a paper poster, cardboard backing will be available at the event for temporary mounting.
  • Printing & Pickup: Posters submitted to the Undergraduate Research Office for printing must be picked up in advance.
  • Setup Time: Presenters should arrive at least 15 minutes before their scheduled presentation to set up their posters. Setup begins at 8 A.M. on April 17.
  • Poster Placement: Spaces are not assigned; faculty and students may choose a location that best suits their needs.
  • Additional Display Items: For presenters who indicated during registration that they will display books, artifacts or other items, a limited number of tables will be available. We recommend setting up at least 15 minutes before the session.
  • Post-Session Cleanup: Presenters are responsible for collecting their posters after the presentation session.

Several resources for developing scientific posters are listed below:

The Office of Research offers free poster printing for participants (students and faculty) who register to present during the event.

Poster Guidelines & Submission Instructions:

  • Design Requirements: Posters must be created in PowerPoint using a Custom Slide Size of 48 in (W) x 36 in (H) and saved as a PDF.
  • Templates: Students may use the following pre-sized PowerPoint templates:

Poster Submission Deadline & Pickup:

  • Final posters must be submitted by April 4, 2025, via the Poster Printing Submission Portal.
  • Only one poster per registered team will be printed.
  • Please ensure that your poster is final, edited and reviewed before submission, as reprints will not be possible.
  • Printed posters will be available for pickup during the designated times listed below.
