Paper Presentation
Guidelines
Timing You will be given 15 minutes for your presentation, followed by 5 minutes of question and answer time.
Presentation Format Historically, many GRF presenters have used PowerPoint to display images and concepts relevant to their presentations.
Available Equipment Each presentation room is equipped with a computer, LCD projector and screen. Please arrive early to your session with a flash drive so you will have time to load your presentation onto the computer.
General Expectations It is expected that you will stay for the entire duration of your session and that you will engage with your fellow presenters by asking constructive questions and listening attentively. It is considered very unprofessional to leave a session before all presenters have spoken, or to arrive late.
Questions? Contact Liz Shockey, Vice Chair of Sessions at eshockey@uncc.edu.

Poster Guidlines
·
Required Size = 36” x 48” (3 ft. x 4 ft.). (These can be printed
in the Prospector for a reasonable price, see below for
details).
o
Individual sheets of paper or hand-made posters are
not acceptable formats.
o
If your poster has already been printed and is a
different size than the required size (or if your discipline has
different size requirements), please contact Joe Howarth
(thowarth@uncc.edu).
In this case, it will be your responsibility to provide an easel
and foam backing large enough to adequately display your poster.
·
Easels, foam board, and binder clips will be provided
for your poster to be displayed.
You can have your poster mounted on foam board, but this
is not a requirement.
·
Choice of Black and White or Full Color is up to you.
·
For a design template, consult with a professor in your
department or consult your professional organization’s
guidelines.
PowerPoint can often be set up to be a great program for
creating posters.
·
Posters should be brought to the staging area to the left of the
main desk in Atkins Library on Friday, February 24, 2012
between the hours of 5:00 to 7:00pm.
The posters will remain on display until the end of the
Graduate Research Fair (approximately 6:00pm).
Posters that are not removed within a timely manner after
the poster session will be discarded. Winning posters may be
asked to be displayed during the week following the Research
Fair (Graduate Education Week).
· Poster presentations will take place in the room to the left of the main desk on Saturday, February 25th. Judging will begin at 10:00am. Please plan to arrive by 9:30am and plan to stand near your poster to explain your research to Graduate Research Fair judges. Judging should end at approximately 12:30pm, but could go longer given the number of poster submissions.
Frequently Asked
Questions
1.
Where can I print my poster?
·
Price for a 36” x 48” (3 ft. x 4 ft.) poster is approximately
$40 for full color.
·
Please print your poster early and give yourself ample time
(24-48 hours) to print your poster. Repros at the Prospector
works on a first come, first serve basis. Consult Repros for how
long prints will take, prices, and outages.
·
You can bring your file to the Prospector or email it to them
at: repros@uncc.edu.
Be sure to give specifics in your email about what you
would like.
·
From experience, be sure to give them your poster file well in
advance and check the poster when you pick it up.
If you choose not to print at the Copy Center,
check with local businesses (Kinko’s, Staples, etc.) or your
department.
