Undergraduate Research Poster Session 2009
Opening Reception: April 14, 5:00-7:00 PM in Frazier Hall
Posters remain on display through April 15
1. Write an abstract of your project, suitable for a non-technical audience, (maximum of 250
words) to be included in the Poster Session program.
2. E-mail the abstract to the Dean’s Secretary abecker@bellarmine.edu copied to your faculty
advisor by March 13. If you do not have en electronic abstract on file that your advisor has
approved you will not be listed with your group in the hard copy program guests will receive. If
you miss the deadline you may perhaps approach your advisor to allow your work into the poster
session, but your work will be displayed on easels apart from your group in a section following the
other participants. Guests will be reading from the program the participants’ abstracts, and the
order must match the printed program. Because your advisor will have to contact the Dean to
see if easels and boards are still available, we cannot guarantee there will be extra spots for
all late entries.
3. Check Option 1 or Option 2 or COMM 400 for your foam board (40 x 60 inches):

Option 1: Pay $10 for a new board and keep your board when the poster session is over. The
boards will be on display through April 15. Between 5 pm on April 15 and 2:00 pm on the
16th you should remove your board and display from Frazier Hall. If you do not remove your
board from Frazier Hall by 2:00 pm on April 16, and because Facilities has events scheduled
in Frazier Hall, we will have to remove the board and dispose of the materials. Thus foam
boards left behind will be recycled into the following year’s Undergraduate Research
Celebration.

Option 2: Pay a $5 deposit to rent a used board. The boards will be on display through April
15. Between 5 pm on April 15 and 2:00 pm on the 16th you should remove your display from
Frazier Hall. If you do not remove your display from Frazier Hall by 2:00 pm on April 16,
and because Facilities has events scheduled in Frazier Hall, we will have to remove the board
and dispose of the materials. The board should be returned to the Arts and Sciences Dean’s
office (AL201) no later than April 20th at 5:00 pm. If you meet the deadline and conditions for
returning the board, your $5 will be refunded to you. If you do not return the board it is yours
to keep and might make a nice display for a family graduation party perhaps.

Check here if you are in Dr. Henson’s COMM 400 course. Your class fee included this $10
and you have already paid for the board. The boards will be on display through April 15.
Between 5 pm on April 15 and 2:00 pm on the 16th you should remove your board and display
from Frazier Hall. If you do not remove your board from Frazier Hall by 2:00 pm on April 16,
and because Facilities has events scheduled in Frazier Hall, we will have to remove the board
and dispose of the materials. Thus foam boards left behind will be recycled into the following
year’s Undergraduate Research Celebration.
4. Attend the opening reception from 5-7 pm on April 14 and be available during the two-hour
period to answer questions about your poster. Dress in business casual attire.
5. Remember, posters stay on display through April 15. Remove your foam board from Frazier
Hall by 2:00 pm on April 16.
