Poster Design Workshops
Poster Design Workshops are tailored to students participating in the Undergraduate Research Symposium but are open to anyone interested in learning how to design a poster, what information to include, and how to draw the attention of your audience through the use of a visual. Posters are a method of communication just like books, movies or web sites. The better your poster design, the more likely your audience will understand your project.
Oral Presentation PowerPoint Workshops
Presentation PowerPoint Workshops are open to anyone interested in learning how to organize a presentation, what information to include, and how to draw the attention of your audience through the use of PowerPoint. The better your presentation, the more likely your audience will understand your project.
Oral Presentation Practice Sessions
URP Presentation Practice Sessions are geared toward students who are participating in the Undergraduate Research Symposium. We encourage you to come to the sessions regardless of what stage of the preparation process you are in. URP staff, UW Staff and PostDocs will be available to help you. The practice sessions are also a good opportunity for you to familiarize yourself with the technology in the room.
Volunteer Opportunities!
Not ready to present this year but want to be a part of the action? We're looking for volunteers to help with Symposium! See opportunities at: http://exp.washington.edu/urp/symp/volunteer.htmlOral
