When is it?
Posters will be displayed in Welch Hall. Poster frames will be provided and set up in advance. Poster frame dimensions are 4' tall by 6' wide. Posters can be attached using binder clips or tape (both of which will be provided). Poster printing is provided free of charge by the college to students participating in the research forum. Students are welcome to print their own posters if they have access to alternative resources. Printing by the College of Natural Sciences (CNS):Printing can be done at any time up until the week before the research forum. This includes if you have a conference at another time during the year and would like to print your poster at that time, for later use at the CNS research forum. Posters typically take 20-30 minutes to print (barring any formatting problems) and 3 hours - overnight to dry depending on how dark the poster is (how much ink is used). Our printer can print posters either 36 or 42 inches tall. Other Printers Undergraduate science students can also utilize the poster printers available in the School of Biological Sciences and the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. The Chemistry and Biochemistry printer is located in their Instructional Media Lab, WEL 3.428 and can print up to 36" wide. This facility is open weekdays 8-5, but students need to reserve the printer for a 1/2 hour block.. Designing Posters

The poster session is the student's time to shine, a chance to present your research to your colleagues and our guests in a format which is a standard for scientific presentation. Almost all major scientific meetings have "poster sessions," and posters are formatted in a standard way, so it's more than just a celebration of student research; it's preparation for a career in the sciences.
