PROVOST’S UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH AWARDS

POSTER SESSION

Undergraduate researchers will share their results with the University community in a poster session that will take place on Thursday, April 17, 2008, in the Glass Pavilion on the Homewood Campus.

The poster session is always the highlight of the afternoon’s activities.  To prepare for it, each undergraduate award recipient will be provided with a 4-feet wide (ø) x 8-feet high (ù) bulletin board and poster board pins.

Toward creating your poster, please keep in mind that your display will be viewed simultaneously by several people, and that the text and figure size should be sufficient to insure legibility.  Although students will ordinarily stand alongside their posters to answer questions about them, each display should be “free standing”--that is, it should be interpretable without elaborate oral comment by the presenter.  Each poster should be headed by the project title and the names of the student researcher, faculty advisor, and department.

In some cases, projects may be better presented through performances or demonstrations than by posters.  A limited number of such performances may be considered for inclusion in the recognition program.  If you wish to present your work in one of these ways, please contact Ms. Sandra Davis at (410) 516-0146.  Please feel free to contact Ms. Davis for logistical information regarding either the poster session or any other aspect of the recognition ceremony.
