Panels

If you will be part of a PANEL at the SRC, please note the following:

  • You will be a member of a panel with 1-3 other presenters whose work is on a related topic. Each person will have approximately 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the time slot and number of presenters, to present their own work; if you are presenting alongside your collaborators, you will share the presentation time.
  • A faculty member will moderate your panel. You will find the faculty moderator of your panel on the SRC website.
  • The faculty moderator will respond to your presentation, and then provide time for the audience to ask questions (approximately 5 minutes).
  • If you would like to request that your faculty moderator read your paper prior to the discussion, you should email your paper directly to the faculty member two weeks before the conference (this is not mandatory). Please note that the decision to read papers is at the discretion of each faculty member.
  • At a minimum, you may want to consider emailing your faculty discussant your PowerPoint presentation or other information that will help him/her prepare for the panel.
  • There will be a PC with PowerPoint available to presenters in every panel session. We recommend that you both email your PowerPoint to yourself and bring it on a flash drive.
  • Encourage your friends and classmates to come to your presentation to provide support and feedback. This is the best way to ensure you have a full and involved audience!

Roundtables

If you will be part of a ROUNDTABLE at the SRC, please note the following:

  • You will be placed on a roundtable with 2-4 other presenters whose work is on related topics. Each person will have no more than 10 minutes, depending on the time slot and number of presenters, to present their own work; if you are presenting alongside your collaborators, you will share the 10 minutes of presentation time. The rest of the session is devoted to conversation and providing each other with feedback. (the times are flexible depending on the length of your session, please email the tri-chairs with any questions)
  • In some cases, a moderator will help generate discussion at the roundtables. However, you and the other presenters should prepare questions that they would like to present to the audience.
  • You may wish to bring handouts about your work, and/or a list of ideas you'd like people to discuss. This will help promote conversation and ensure that you get useful feedback.
  • Encourage your friends and classmates to come to your presentation to provide support and feedback. This is the best way to ensure you have a full and involved audience!

Posters

If you will be part of the POSTER PRESENTATION at the SRC, please note the following:

  • We do not have size guidelines for posters, but we advise you to make your poster big enough to be legible and not overly sized. Picture a typical conference or even a science fair.
  • Posters will be set up on tables. There will not be wall space for hanging, so we require that all posters are free-standing.
  • There will NOT be computers provided to poster presenters. If you wish to display materials on a computer, please arrange to bring your own laptop and an extension cord. You will not have internet access in the poster session unless you are a HGSE student who can log in to the HGSE wireless network.
  • Presenters are responsible for bringing their own materials. We cannot provide stands or other materials for the posters.
  • Posters will be set up in the Radcliffe Gymnasium. Presenters will be told where they can set up their posters when they register on the day of the conference.
  • You can set up your poster anytime before 12:30 p.m. We will provide directions and a guide to meet you to take you to the poster site. (You will also be able to leave your poster at the site and set it up closer to the time of the session)
  • You should plan to stand by your poster from 12:30-1:50 p.m. during the conference. People will walk by and stop to talk with you informally during that time. There is no 'discussant' for the poster session.
  • Plan to remove your poster by 3 p.m.
  • Lunch will be made available during the poster session, so be sure to grab a lunch for yourself to eat during downtime or after the session.
  • You may bring handouts if you'd like to share more information with audience members.
  • Encourage your friends and classmates to come to your presentation to provide support and feedback. This is the best way to ensure you have a full and involved audience!
