Poster Guidelines:
Posters must fit on the boards provided. The boards are approximately
40 by 60 inches. Please allow some extra room around the
edges of the board. Most commonly, students affix 8 1/2 x
11 inch pages individually onto separate poster board
pieces.
Posters can also be printed on one large sheet but be sure
it fits within the poster board dimensions. Presenters
should bring their own pushpins to attach their poster to
the board.
Your poster should provide information
about your research project, including Title, Author,
Abstract, Introduction or Background Information, Methods,
Results, Discussion, References and Acknowledgments.
Please bear in mind that a poster
presentation is a visual experience. Please use large type
(around 20 pt.) and try to keep your Methods section
relatively short, about 1-2 pages long. Use diagrams, tables,
and graphs in your poster.
