Student Poster Instructions

All students must be included on a poster at the GSRC and MuSyC Annual Reviews.  If there is a group poster, only one person will need to register it (but indicate the other researchers involved).

*** Poster Deadline – September 9^th ***

Each student (or group) will be responsible to submit online, print, laminate and transport the poster to San Jose.

The night before and morning of each of the reviews, the Boardroom (2^nd floor, Sainte Claire Hotel) will be designated with a limited number of foam boards and clips/tacks for mounting posters.

***Posters submitted on time will be judged for each center’s Best Poster Award***
