Graduate Student Poster Session Guidelines

Graduate Student Poster Session

The Guarini School's Graduate Student Poster Session will be held on Wednesday, April 9, from 5-7:30 pm in the Ballroom at the Hanover Inn.

Join us for a reception highlighting graduate student research in the form of a poster session. This is our premier forum for the Guarini community to get together. At the conclusion of the event, we will present awards and prizes for the best posters.

Prizes of $200 will be awarded for the top three posters.

Sign up for the Poster Session

Guarini graduate students (PHD, MS, MA, MALS, and MFA) can sign up to present a poster at the Graduate Student Poster Session starting on Monday, March 17 at 9:00 am. Sign up here.

Tip: Since there are limited spaces, please check with your advisors as soon as possible about their wishes for you to present. In the past, advisors have asked why their graduate students are not presenting.

Fine print

Presenters

Only one presenter per poster, and presenters must be able to attend the full session.

Judging

Posters will be judged on clarity of visual presentation, as well as on how well the poster presenters can speak about their work in terms understandable by a non-specialist (three-minute maximum presentation, however the poster itself may be highly technical). In addition, only one presenter per poster.

Branding

We encourage you to use the Guarini School logo on your posters.

Size

Your poster should be no larger than 3 feet wide by 4 feet long. If for some reason your poster is larger, then you will be responsible for making sure it hangs on the allotted space.

Format

Only posters will be allowed for the presentation of your work i.e. that means no use of computers or other technical equipment.
