Presentation Formats
Oral Presentations
Students who choose this format will be grouped by academic
area, and if the number of submissions is large enough, by
sub-disciplines within an academic area, by research topic, or by
research method (but always within the academic area chosen by the
student.)
Each student will have 15 minutes to present her/his research
and to answer questions. Some session moderators will hold
all questions until all students have made a presentation,
therefore, students should plan their remarks for no more than 12
minutes.
Although there is no limit on the number of students who may
participate in a single oral presentation, we recommend no more
than 2 and that anyone else who participated in the research be
listed as a co-author.
All classrooms used for the conference are multi-media equipped
with computers that have web access. If you intend to use
PowerPoint, we ask that you upload your presentation by Monday,
April 8 to avoid problems on the day of the conference.
We also encourage students using visual aids to look at formats
such as Prezi (http://prezi.com)
that can be saved on and retrieved from the web. The computer
in each room is a networked PC. If you are a Mac user with a
PowerPoint presentation you only need upload your presentation by
April 8 in order to have access to it on the day of the
conference.

Poster Presentations
Students who choose this format will be grouped by academic
area. The number of poster sessions held on the day of the
conference is determined after the submission deadline and based on
the number of submissions. However, there will likely be 2 or
3 sessions and each session will have 25-40 posters
displayed. All poster sessions take place in Irwin
Library. Each poster will be displayed from 60-90 minutes
(depending on the number of submissions and the number of
sessions). Students should be available to talk about their
poster for at least the first 20 minutes of the session.

Visual Arts
Students who choose to present their art work will do so in the
lobby of Irwin Library. Last year, all art work was displayed
for the entire day. If we have a large number of submissions,
we may need to have two sessions.
When you register your art submission, you'll need to tell us
the title, the medium, and the dimensions of your submission.
Also, you'll need to provide an artist statement.

All abstracts and artist statements will be
available online after the conference at the Butler URC
Website.
