PRESENTATION AND AUDIO-VISUAL GUIDELINES

Presentations are grouped into interdisciplinary and disciplinary sessions based on the overall distribution of abstracts that were submitted. Presenters should dress professionally and are welcome to invite faculty mentors, friends, and family to the Conference. Student presenters can find their session time, presentation time, and room location in the program on SRC website. Students should arrive to their schedule session locations at least 15 minutes before the session begins.

Oral Presentation Sessions:　Oral presentations are scheduled for 15 minutes each. Presentations should last approximately 12 minutes to leave time for questions. A computer with a projector will be available in each session room. Presenters delivering computer-based presentations should use software packages that are standardly available on campus computers. A moderator will be in each session room to help upload presentations and keep track of time. Presenters should arrive to their scheduled room at least 15 minutes before the session starts to identify themselves to the session moderator and preload their presentation. It is recommended to bring the presentation on a portable flash drive as there will not be enough time between sessions to login to email.

Performance Sessions:　Performing arts presentations are examples of theatrical or musical performances, or a combination of the two. The performances are scheduled for 15 minutes each, including time for questions, discussion, setup and teardown. Equipment needs (music stands, piano, etc.) should be requested at the time of abstract submission.
