Oral Presentations 

Oral presentations should be no longer than 5 minutes in length. Questions and answers should be tabled until the end of each presentation.  A projector will be available for PowerPoint and if you decide to use it you should forward your presentation to Nija Leocadio (nija.leocadio@nyu.edu) no later than 12 PM on April 10th so that it can be loaded onto the laptop. Your presentation should include a brief synopsis of your research question, how you answered that question, and your results.

Poster Presentations 

You may use a Poster Template like this one or create your own. The library has created a very useful resource for creating posters. You can find it here.  

Poster guidelines are as follows:

  • A maximum of 40” x 28”
  • Hard backed to rest on an easel
  • Have a font between 20 and 24 inches
  • Have a title that includes the name of the author(s) and is approximately 1 inch tall

Below are suggested sections that you may want to include on your poster: 

  • Abstract
  • Methods
  • Results or findings 
  • Discussion
  • Acknowledgments (Optional)

Please work with your mentor or adviser on the creation of your poster.  

Poster Presentations with a Multimedia Component

This type of presentation is new to the showcase. You must include a multimedia supplement to your application but it does not have to be a video. This is a space for you to creatively represent your research and disseminate your findings in non-traditional ways. If selected for this type of presentation you will be given an easel for your traditional poster as well as a high table for your laptop. You will also be judged in a separate category from the poster sessions.
