Poster Presentation Information

- The poster — including any borders, attachments or other associated elements — may not be larger than 3 feet tall by 4 feet wide.
- Posters can be printed at MUDD LAB or at the DIGITAL MEDIA COMMONS (Fondren basement, B42).

Final Instructions for Presenters
Please arrive 15-30 minutes before your presentation session with your printed poster to check in and hang your poster. Printing instructions can be found at the top of this page. Magnets and push-pins will be provided. This event is open to all, and we encourage you to invite your friends, family and lab members to attend.
Your poster will be evaluated by peer judges as well as graduate student and faculty judges, and most of you will also serve as peer judges. Please check in at Tudor Fieldhouse at the start of your judging session to receive your judging assignment. Posters will be assigned randomly for judges to evaluate across all theme areas and topics. All posters will be evaluated according to this rubric, which will be available electronically during the event.
Please join us at 4:00 p.m. for a short keynote address from Prof. Dan Wagner and the presentation of awards by Dean Thomas Killian. The top posters in each thematic area will receive recognition at the awards ceremony, and the highest-scoring presentation in each thematic area will receive a cash prize. Stay after the short program for a reception with cotton candy, a popcorn bar and paletas as we celebrate your hard work.
