Celebration Info for Participants
Poster Printing:
*Please see the useful links/advice on doing poster presentations. Ask your faculty mentor about poster printing options in your department (some departments/programs may be sponsoring the costs and have arrangements for printing). Although costs for printing are generally the responsibility of the presenter,
URECA will sponsor the poster printing costs for the first 100 students who submit
their poster files for poster printing at the Institute for STEM Education by: 9 AM on MONDAY- APRIL 22, 2024
Important: Please read the I-STEM poster formatting instructions before submitting
your poster PDF; and proofread/check for errors before submitting (we will not be
able to accommodate re-prints!). Poster size: 36" x 48".You can view the poster formatting guidelines and instructions for poster submission
at the Institute for STEM Education in Life Sciences here.
*(Note: for those students availing themselves of URECA's offer to sponsor printing
costs, URECA will pick up the posters and transport to SAC A on Monday April 29th.
Whether you are printing at I-STEM or elsewhere, your poster (36"x48") should be ready to set up on the day prior to the event.
SCHEDULE - MONDAY APRIL 29 - SET UP DAY FOR URECA POSTER PRESENTERS
For students presenting in either Session I or II. please set up your poster on the day before:Monday, April 30 in SAC Ballroom A. Best time to set up? Between 2 pm - 6pm*.
NOTE: *VIP Team participants (presenting from 11-2) will set up on TUESDAY APRIL 30 - Ballroom B at 10:45 AMS
Poster display boards (36" x 48") are provided to all participants; however, you may opt to use your own display boards so long as they will fit on a standard easel. Because we need to re-use the boards we provide for the event, we ask that you use binder clips and /or pushpins (which we will have available) rather than glue/tape.
If you become ill or cannot present for any reason, please notify Karen Kernan by email to facilitate a listing of the poster cancellations.
Remind your mentors, lab colleagues and friends about the URECA Celebration event!
TUESDAY - APRIL 30. Please be there at your poster during the time you registered for (10-12 OR 1-3) but don't miss class!. We encourage you also to walk around and talk to others presenting posters! Enjoy the
event!
Take-down/end of event.If you cannot be there at 3 pm when our URECA Celebration event ends, please make
arrangements for someone else to pick up your poster for you. Some of your mentors
may want these for future display in some of the buildings. We will be there in SAC
Ballroom A between 3 and 4:30 taking down easels, etc. and will lay the posters flat...but
I would hate to see your poster damaged...so try to collect it yourself (or ask someone)
as close to 3 pm as possible. Suggestion: Bring a poster tube (labelled!) for safe
transport! (Any unclaimed posters will be brought back to the URECA office suite (Academic
Engagement Suite - Student Union) for you to pick up.For students presenting in morning (10am-12) Session: please leave your poster up for viewing throughout the day's event (even if you will not be present during the 1-3 timeslot).
IMPORTANT: Let us know if you are withdrawing your poster for any reason so that we can arrange the space.
