Info For Presenters
Rather than physically bringing your posters to NU Reporgraphics, it is best that you email your poster in PDF or Power Point format to nurepro@yahoo.com. Remember to put your name, student level (graduate or undergraduate) and your Abstract ID# in the subject line in addition to referencing to Research and Scholarship Expo.
We expect that the majority of presenters will display posters. Instructions for poster presentations are given below. We also welcome performances. If you have any special presentation requests, please contact Jerome Dean at j.dean@neu.edu

- Use the slide to highlight the most interesting fact about your research, briefly describe your research.
- Make it interesting. Think of it as a way to get people excited about your research.
- You can also form your research findings as a question. Please add your Abstract ID# to the slide in a line that reads "Find out at booth [put in your abstract ID, we will change it to your poster board number]."
