Poster Guidelines: Posters must fit on the 4' x 8' boards provided, and the recommended size for each poster is. Students may affix 8 1/2 x 11 inch pages individually onto separate poster board pieces or posters can be printed on one large sheet (but be sure it fits within the poster board dimensions).

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.
