/ Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity

Presenting

Once you’ve done the research, putting a poster together and getting ready for the event takes some planning.

Check here for tips on making and printing a great poster, where and when to set up your poster, what to wear, taking breaks to view other posters, and free food and drinks at the event.

Poster Types and Sizes

You have a choice of displaying your poster as a flat poster on a display board, or using a tri-fold poster board set on a table. Templates are available for various sizes of posters. SeePostersfor more information.

Printing Your Poster

Hope College students, faculty, and staff can submit posters for printing toCampus Print and Mail Servicesfor general, academic and research purposes. Use theResearch Postersbutton underNew Ordersfor printing your research poster for the Celebration. SeePrintingfor more information.

Setting up Your Poster

Poster Location Assignments

You will be assigned alocationto present yourposterin DeVos in late March. At that time you will be able to open the event spreadsheet and find your location. Click anywhere on the spreadsheet and then press "control+f" or "command+f" to search for your name or the name of your project. Or you can use the filters at the top to select your department. Once you find your poster location number, check the map of DeVos (also provided in late March) to find your location.

Poster Set-Up

Posterswill be set up onThursday afternoonbefore the event, because Junior Day uses the facility Friday morning. We both want to respect their use of the spaceandwant to showcase your amazing work as a preview of Celebration. Admissions will be using the upper concourse for their event, and it is exciting to look down on the court and see so many intriguing posters. We hope that these potential students and parents will accept our invitation to come back and view your posters later that day.

Setup:4月21日,星期四,下午12-5点

You may set up your poster when it is convenient for you within the above time frame. Push pins will be provided. If you cannot make it to set up on Thursday,please let us know. In that case, set up must be completed between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Friday to be ready for the start of the event at 2:30.

Note: Tri-fold poster boardsare available to pick up at Media Services Center, 2nd floor Van Wylen Library. Please use these tri-fold boards that the college provides, instead of purchasing your own. You can direct your poster to be printed at the library when you submit your poster toCampus Print and Mail Service, and then pick up the tri-fold board when you pick up your poster. You may use the large paper cutter at the Media Center to cut your poster into the tri-fold sections before taping them on the tri-fold board. There is also double-sided tape for your use at the Media Services Center.

Name tags and Programs

A registration table will be at the southwest (clock tower) entrance of DeVos, where name tags and program booklets will be provided. Come and get your nametag before you begin presenting. The program booklet includes the poster location numbers and a map of poster locations in DeVos.
