Get Ready for the Graduate Student Poster Session Sign-up
Sign-up to Present a Poster at the Dartmouth Graduate Student Poster Session: Link below, but will not be active until Friday, March 16 @ 8:30 am.

https://dartmouth.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8u0cmty6IByXeYZ

The poster session is scheduled for Wednesday, April 4, 5-7:30 pm in Alumni Hall. Presenters must be able to attend the full session.



(Since there are limited spaces, now is the time to check with your advisor to see if s/he would like you to present. FYI… in the past, advisors have asked me why their students are not presenting.)

The poster session, scheduled for Wednesday, April 4, 5-7:30 pm in Alumni Hall is being organized as part of Graduate Student Appreciation Week and will display posters by Dartmouth graduate students. The poster session is to display to other graduate students/postdocs, undergraduate students, faculty, and administrators the research and scholarly activity currently underway at Dartmouth.

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

Posters will be judged on clarity of visual presentation, as well as on how well the poster presenter can talk (briefly, 3 minutes!) about his/her work in terms understandable by a non-specialist (though the poster itself may be highly technical). In addition, only one presenter per poster.

**** Poster Size****
We encourage you to use the School of Graduate and Advanced Studies Logo on your posters.
FYI...
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.

Please note:
Only posters will be allowed for the presentation of your work i.e. that means no use of computers or other technical equipment. Additionally, only one person can present each poster.
