2024 Presentation Guidelines

Research - Poster Presentations: Poster presentations will take place in the Student Union Building - Glacier Room.

• Set up for poster presentations will be from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM on April 12.
• Students will be present for the start of the Symposium on April 12.
• Poster presentations will begin immediately following the keynote speaker.

Creativity - Oral Presentations: Oral presentations will take place in the Student Union Building - Glacier Room.

• Oral presentations will begin on April 12, starting time TBD.
• If presenting remotely or using any visual aids, please contact research@msubillings.edu to schedule a time to rehearse so no issues arise on the day of the event.
• Oral presentations will consist of a MAXIMUM 5-MINUTE presentation (some time will be allowed at the end for questions from the audience). The 5-minute maximum will be enforced. We do not want to interrupt your work, but understand that we have limited time for presentations and other students need time to present as well.

Asynchronous Presentations (Research & Creativity): It is understandable that some students might not be able to make the live event. In which case, we also provide asynchronous participation. These asynchronous presentations require:

• Video Link: Students should provide a video (no more than 5 minutes) of their project. Please provide the video YouTube link preferred) to research@msubillings.edu.
• Remote Students Presentation Guidelines

Scholar Works (Research & Creativity): All students are encouraged to submit their projects to ScholarWorks, an online repository that provides a permanent record of your project that you can share with future employers, graduate schools, family members, etc. More information can be found here.

Poster Templates

MSUB will provide the printing for students presenting posters at the in-person event. Posters should be sent in pdf format to research@msubillings.edu by April 8, 2024, to be printed in time for the Symposium.

• This downloadable PowerPoint template provides correct dimensions to use for your poster.
  • This form provides guides for the poster dimensions, but you are not required to adhere to design. In fact, we encourage you to be creative with your design choices as long as they are legible and appropriate.
  • If you are an MSUB student, you can download PowerPoint for free here.
• There are hundreds of poster examples on the internet if you are looking to get a better idea of what is appropriate for your field of study.

Each poster should include:

• Title
• Author(s)
• Abstract (if appropriate)
• Body of Work
• Acknowledgements (if appropriate)
• MSUB logo
