Talks and paper presentations will be held live in Corbett Center. These presentations will be open to the public. Each room will be equipped with a laptop ready to project.  Please bring any audio visuals you wish to project on a USB drive or as a link.  Please arrive 10 minutes early to load your presentation prior to the start of the session.

Each presenter will have a maximum of 15 minutes for both presentation and questions, so do please plan accordingly.  The schedule will be posted online in advance so you will know your time slot and how many sessions are scheduled within the hour. The moderator for each session will be responsible for keeping presentations on schedule.

When preparing your work for presentation, please remember that your audience comprises students and faculty of a variety of different disciplines.  Strive to present your research in a clear and simple language that is accessible to the entire audience.  For presenters drawing from a larger project, please remember that you may only be able to present the highlights from your work.

Make sure to organize and practice your presentation in advance with a timer.  Your faculty advisor is your best source of guidance for what your presentation should look like given the nature of your work.  

All presenters assigned to a session should plan to stay through the entire session.  You are also part of the audience for the others in your time slot! Please do invite others to attend the session to see your work and the work of your peers.  Attendees who cannot be there in person can attend your talk via livestream.

Talks will be livestreamed and recorded unless you request otherwise.

The in-person poster session will take place in the 3rd floor ballroom of Corbett Center from 11am to 1pm.  During these hours, poster presenters will be on hand to talk about their research and answer questions.  Dr. Cifuentes will make remarks on research opportunities at NMSU, and a light lunch will be available at this time.

Our poster boards will accommodate posters that are 36" high by 48" wide.  Organize your information clearly and make sure that it is in a font that is legible from 5-8 feet away.  Some suggestions about how to create a poster can be found here.  Posters can be put up anytime after 4pm on Thursday, April 13, and should be taken down by 4pm on Friday, April 14, when the poster boards will be removed.  

How to print your poster?  Ask your advisor if there is a poster printer in your department or program.  If not, you can print for free at the Center for Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity in Conroy Honors Center.  Email tomlin@nmsu.edu for hours.  Another option is Instacopy, downtown at 318 N. Main St., where you can print your poster with two days advance notice.  The cost last year was $14.28 for 20lb paper, $16.08 for higher-quality color pro 24lb paper, and approx. $24 for water and tear resistant poly pro paper.  Email your poster as a pdf formatted to 36"x48" to copycenter@insta-copy.com at least 2 full days before you will need to pick it up.
