Types of Presentations

Oral Presentations : These are 20-minute presentations (15 minutes for presentation and 5 for questions from the audience).

Poster Presentations: Projects, summarized on a 48″ x 36″ poster and displayed in one large room or hallway. During a dedicated poster session, authors stand at their posters and the ‘audience’ walks among the posters, talking with the authors one-on-one.

  • For Accepted presenters, please see the guidelines below on how to develop your presentations
Guidelines for Preparing Poster Presentations:

If you are selected to present a poster, the Research Committee will arrange for printing it at no cost to you provided you meet these requirements:

  • Create an electronic version of your poster using the general PowerPoint template described below.
  • Save your final PowerPoint poster as a PDF.
  • Once saved as a PDF, examine the PDF carefully to be sure everything is formatted correctly. The poster will print exactly as it appears in the PDF.
  • No later than April 14th 2025, upload the poster PDF. This is to ensure that your poster will be printed out in time. No submissions will be accepted after this date.

Steps in Getting Your Poster Printed by MU:

  • You will create your poster using PowerPoint at the dimensions below and then you will download it as a PDF file.
  • You will upload the PDF to this site.

Dimensions for your poster:

  • You will need to create the poster so it can be printed at a size of 48 by 36 inches–you do this by creating the file with the dimensions of 24 by 18 inches.

At the time of printing the file will be doubled in size by the MU Copy Center. The PowerPoint template for the Student Research Conference Presentation can be found at the link below and is already set at the correct dimensions. You are free to use that and add whatever images or text you need to get your point across. Remember to export the finished poster as a PDF.
