Please review the video recording of the CGHE Poster Presentation Workshop, led by Professor Paige Hornsby, Public Health Sciences, to help everyone prepare for the 2021 CGHE Research Symposium (October 22). Professor Hornsby covers essential skills for effectively communicating your work verbally and in poster format. It is a challenge to everyone, at every stage of their career, to convert complex ideas into an accessible format. Please join us for a great workshop which will help you build foundational skills that you'll use throughout your career.
CGHE Scholar Poster presentations are an inherent part of the annual research symposium. We ask each scholar / scholar team to produce a poster for presentation and to please prepare a 3-5 minute oral presentation of your work; all presentations should be recorded and will be presented virtually. We are excited to learn about your work, your experiences, and your outcomes as a CGHE Scholar.
As CGHE projects are so diverse, we're referencing very general guidelines for posters courtesy of the Office of Undergraduate Research. (Seriously, read through this. It is helpful.) And, we ask that you adhere to very basic guidelines:
- Create posters in PowerPoint or Google Slides sized at 36x48. (In Powerpoint, go to DESIGN > slide size > customize, and choose width 48, height 36. In Google Slides, go to File > page setup > custom, and choose the same dimensions) All Posters should be in landscape format.
- Include compelling and relevant photographs; high-resolution photos are best. Please avoid any images which might compromise privacy, images of clinical settings, or images that include people who did not give their permission to be photographed.
- Include your Institutional Review Board Protocol Number if applicable.
- If you include credits, please note that the Center for Global Health Equity funded your project.
- Please send us a link to your poster and recording by October 15th. Most commonly, people save their poster in their google drive. Please just make sure that the poster/recording is available to anyone with the link and that it does not have a password.
The session will be recorded. In the meantime, please reference the following example from 2020 CGHE Scholars:
