Knowing how to present academic
research is an important skill for undergraduates that may be applied to future
academic and career experiences. The research poster session has been a staple
of presenting research in the STEM fields yet is still little known in the
humanities and some social science disciplines. The Maryland Center for
Undergraduate Research is hosting workshops for undergraduate students in the
humanities and social sciences on creating a research poster.
This workshop should be helpful to
students planning to participate in Undergraduate Research Day, which will be
held on campus on April 29, 2015. The workshops will cover principles of good
poster design, organization of information, and strategies for printing and
presenting your poster. Please RSVP to ugresearch@umd.edu with
the subject line “Poster Workshop” and the date/time you wish to attend.
Workshops will take place in the MCUR office, 2100D McKeldin Library, across
from the Learning Commons. More information can be found on the MCUR website
at http://www.ugresearch.umd.edu/researchposter.php.
