All symposium participants present their research with a poster. Posters should be approximately four feet wide and three feet tall. Posters can be printed or assembled.
Presenters must be available to discuss their displays during their assigned poster session. A few specifics on the poster boards: posters must be readable from at least three feet away, the presentation title must be at least two inches high, and beneath the title, the name(s) of the student author(s), faculty advisor, and home institution must be at least one inch high. CAURS reserves the right to cancel a presenter's poster session if the above requirements are not met.
See Poster Tips or more specific information on how to prepare a poster presentation.
Some participants who indicate their interest during registration will also be chosen to present an oral presentation. Oral presentations should be 8-10 minutes in length with five additional minutes for a question-and-answer period. Powerpoint or Keynote may be used. Speakers who are confirmed for their presentation should make arrangements with the CAURS staff to make sure their presentation formats will work.
See Oral Presentation Tips for more specific information on how to prepare an oral presentation.
All undergraduates are invited to submit examples of artwork drawn from their scientific research. The items selected for exhibition at CAURS will be on display at the symposium. Individuals whose artwork is accepted will also be invited to attend the event. We highly encourage students who are submitting their research to also submit examples of photographs and other media that were important in their investigation, but may also serve an aesthetic purpose. Anyone interested in submitting their artwork should email info@caurs.com. We will make the arrangements for the display.
