Participant Information and Instructions

The 20th Annual Research and Scholarly Activity Fair will take place on Tuesday, April 16, 2013, from Noon to 3:00 p.m. at SWOSU’s Memorial Student Center on the second floor. We encourage students, faculty, staff, and administration to present a poster or give an oral/podium presentation. We ask faculty who have students involved in research or other scholarly activity to encourage them to participate! Posters will be presented in the Ballroom; the oral/podium presentations will be presented in the Bonnie Boardroom.

Participation Registration

Deadline for abstract submissions was March 8.

Set Up—Posters

Poster set up will begin on the day of the fair at 8:00 a.m. and last until approximately 11:30 a.m. Approximately one week before the fair, you will be notified as to where and which panel you are assigned for your poster. Posters will be available for viewing beginning at 11:45 a.m.

Each presenter will be provided one side of a display panel, which measures 78” high by 50” wide. If you need a table and/or electrical outlet for your display, you will need to request that option(s) on the application. You will need to bring either Velcro or push-pins to attach your poster(s).
