Presentation Information

Each presenter is allotted 20 minutes; 15 minutes for speaking and 5 minutes for answering questions.
A computer with Powerpoint and a projector will be available at each presentation location (Carlisle auditorium for Natural Science presentations, Kilpatrick for Social Science & Humanities presentations.) If you need something other than these, contact Scott Chirhart to make other accommodations.
Please load any computer files onto the computer BEFORE your presentation. That is, either before the session begins or during a scheduled break. The sessions are on a tight schedule, so the time you take loading your Powerpoint is time out of your 15 minutes. On a similar note, it would be wise to show up with your presentation stored in a couple of places (e.g., in your email box and on a USB drive), just in case one doesn’t seem to be working.
Make sure to consult the online schedule to note your presentation time.
Performances and Visual Arts Presenters:
- Performances and Visual Arts exhibits must be approved by department faculty prior to submission.
- Each performance submission must be 5-10 minutes in length.
- Performance submissions will be performance-ready, demonstrating mastery of the practices, skills, and style of the chosen piece. Visual Arts submissions may consist of 2-+D, 3-D, or 4-D works.

Your poster should be up on the second floor of Mickle Hall with you at its side by 11am. The judges will begin examining the work by 11:10am. You’ll be expected to be with your poster to answer any questions the judges might have. In addition, many presenters like to have a brief summary prepared (about 2 minutes) for when a judge inevitably asks, “So, tell me about what you did.”
There are no strict criteria for the format of the poster (e.g., a single, large sheet vs. individual panels). Therefore, the format is left to the discretion of the presenter.
