The DMU Mentored Student Research Program is an excellent opportunity for students to highlight their research findings. We’re excited to offer both oral and poster presentations and all summer research students are invited to participate. Students may present on any topic or experience related to research.
Oral Presentations
One oral presentation is allowed per lab.
Oral presentations will be 10-12 minutes with 3-5 minutes for questions, for a total of 15 minutes. Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 will be used to project slides. Please make sure your presentation is compatible with this program. If you prefer to use a Mac computer or have video files, arrangements must be made prior to the program. Please contact Vanessa Ross at cme@dmu.edu or 515-271-1541. Presentation and video files should be stored on USB drives.
Poster Presentations
Posters should be no more than 5? wide and 4? high and printed by the DMU print shop (details below). Materials to hang your poster will be available onsite. On the day of the program, posters must be displayed in the MEC by 9:30 a.m. and removed by 3:30 p.m.
General Information about Poster Construction
The poster session will provide attendees the opportunity to learn more about a research project, and personalize their learning experience by speaking one-on-one with the student creators of posters that capture their attention. The following web site serves as a great resource on how to create an effective poster: http://www.ncsu.edu/project/posters/NewSite/
