Friday, April 3, 2020
at 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

WVU Natural History Museum (Percival Hall 301)

Female subjects converse at poster presentation

Undergraduate and graduate students are invited to present posters of their research projects, capstone projects, masters’ theses, or dissertation research (either independently or in collaboration with faculty members or other students). All forms of educational, human services, and applied social sciences research are welcomed. Research in progress is also welcomed. Work presented elsewhere (i.e., other academic conferences and meetings) is also acceptable.

Important Dates:

  • Registration Deadline: Monday, March 30 at noon
  • Symposium: Friday, April 3 at 11:00 – 1:00pm
    Participants will be expected to arrive at 10:30 to set up their posters.
All presentations must be in poster format.
ASNI E size is 34 inches by 44 inches

To accommodate all posters, they MUST be printed in the “ANSI E” format (34” W x 44” H, portrait orientation). This format allows two posters to fit on each provided easel.

If you already have a poster printed in landscape for a previous conference, you can still present using that poster. Please indicate that on the registration form.

The provided template is formatted to the correct size along with suggested font sizes to ensure that your poster can be read from 3-4 feet away.
