Your application should include a brief letter explaining why your participation in the poster forum would be beneficial, as well as name, major(s), advisor’s name, project title, and an abstract describing your goals, methods, findings and significance of your project in 200 words or less.

  - All types of academic presentations are opportunities to teach your peers about your work. Poster presentations have two challenges in particular. The first is that you have a finite space in which to tell a story. The second is that your audience is moving around the room.
  - In this workshop, we will discuss the essential parts of a poster and how to arrange them to tell a concise story, with an opportunity for participants to practice. In addition, we will consider how to talk about your work to people who may spend as little as thirty seconds or as much as several minutes at your poster.
