
Have at least one presenter at the assigned space during the designated time to answer questions and discuss the poster. Bring any and all to learn about the Departments / Offices on campus.
Tips for Poster Presentation:

Poster should stimulate discussion, not give a long presentation. Therefore, avoid lists, keep text to a minimum, emphasize a few key graphics and make sure every item in your poster is necessary.

Utilize handouts to supplement your poster. Assume that at least 50 to 80 people will visit your poster
The most recent “board report” should be more of a resource and not a handout

Viewers must be able to read the materials at a distance of 4 feet.

When choosing a background, remember that neutral or gray colors will be easier on the eyes than a bright color.
