Presentation Resources For Students
Preparing for the SU Research Conference
* * *
Oral Presentation Resources
Oral
panel presenters will have fifteen minutes to present their
work and five minutes to take questions. They may read their
paper, speak from an outline, or make a power point
presentation, whichever is appropriate for their field and
project. We will
provide a computer with CD, Microsoft Office software, DVD
player, VCR, and TV in each classroom.
Presenters must plan to
arrive at the presentation room at least 10 minutes prior to
the start of their session to setup any audio-visual equipment
and meet the session moderator and other presenters.
Presenters must plan on attending their session for the entire time it
is held to provide support for their fellow presenters. Presenters should be well
prepared, speak slowly and clearly, make regular eye contact
with their audience and avoid physical or verbal mannerisms that
would detract from the effectiveness of their talk.

Poster Presentation Resources
The
poster presentation session will take place in the Wicomico
Room from 6:00 – 7:30 pm on the day of the conference. This room will be set up
for the posters as well as light refreshments.
Presenters are
expected to be available to take any questions about their
research for the full session.
Poster presenters must ensure that their posters are set
up by the beginning of this session.
Plan to arrive no later
than 5:45pm.
Posters can be as large as 4 ft X 5 ft, but we prefer that they
do not utilize this full area. Posters must be
mounted to cardboard or another rigid material.
We recommend using a tri-fold poster board sold at retailers including Office Max,
Staples, the campus bookstore, and Wal-Mart. Posters will be displayed
on the fronts and backs of tabletops. (We expect to display six
posters on every two tables).
Posters on tri-fold boards are self-supporting and can be
easily displayed on the tabletops. The mounted posters (those
attached to cardboard or another rigid material) can also be
leaned against metal stands (but these stands will be provided
in limited numbers) for tabletop display. No other supports may
be brought by presenters.
