Celebrate Carroll Poster Presentations
General Information
A poster presentation is the presentation of research findings by an individual or small group at an academic conference such as Celebrate Carroll.
- At Celebrate Carroll, we ask all poster presenters to set up their posters by noon on Wednesday in the Stackner Ballroom. Posters should be left up for the entire afternoon; each individual will be assigned a one-hour timeframe during which s/he is expected to stand beside the poster to engage in a discussion with attendees.
- A ioster presentation at Celebrate Carroll usually consists of attaching (with binder clips) the research poster to a support board and set on an easel. The Carroll Scholars Center provides the support board and easel; presenters must provide their posters.
Types of Posters
We allow two types of poster presentations at Celebrate Carroll, but we encourage presenters to have their posters printed professionally.
- Pre-printed poster: Posters can be printed by Carroll University Campus Support Services Duplication or an off campus printing company. The cost of poster printing is covered by the individual.
- Handmade poster: Posters are usually made by the individual and research information is typically pasted directly to the tri fold poster board. The poster board is provided by the individual.
Posters can be any size and made of any material. We encourage presenters to have their posters printed professionally and the size of the poster to be 48"(w) and 36"(h). This is not a requirement, just a suggestion so that the pre-printed posters fit on our provided boards and easels.
