Presenter Resources

  • Presentations should be aimed at a general audience — the UCUR is an opportunity for students to communicate their research to an audience from a broad range of backgrounds.

    Include your institution's logo.  (University of Utah students should include the U logo - click here to download a U logo)

    Proper attribution: Scholarly presentations (poster, oral, creative or otherwise) should include proper attribution. This means inclusion of co-authors (order agreed upon by co-authors) and/or include an acknowledgement section to recognize those who have supported the project (i.e., funders, people, etc). If students are unsure about attribution (authorship or acknowledgements), the Office of Undergraduate Research encourages students to receive feedback from faculty mentors/research team mentors. For students who receive UROP, SPUR, or Travel and Small grants, research acknowledgement may be found here: https://our.utah.edu/research-scholarship-opportunities/current-scholar-resources/

    Poster Presentations

    • Poster sessions are held in the Student Union main ballroom.
    • Posters can be up to 48 inches wide x 36 inches high (no tri-fold or foam poster boards allowed). Posters larger than 48 inches wide will be too big for the display boards.
    • Posters will be attached to fabric display boards with pushpins (provided).
    • Poster presenters are responsible for printing their own posters and bringing to the conference.
    • Presenters must be at their poster and available to discuss it for the entire session they are assigned.

    • Be considerate of time for other presenters - do not go over.
