Ten Simple Rules for a Good Poster Presentation
Creating Effective Poster Presentations
The cost of printing your poster will be covered by the university. You must submit your poster to the Document Resource Center (DRC) by no later than 3pm on May 30th.
This link can be used to submit your printing request to the DRC in Klamath Falls (under job type, choose Plotter Prints). Note: the max poster size that can be printed by the Klamath Falls DRC is 48in x 36in.
Oregon Tech maintains a digital repository for student project posters so they can be viewed online! This is a great opportunity to make your poster available on the web and gain recognition for your hard work. To see how it works, browse previous projects in Oregon Tech Library's digital repository for student projects.
To submit your poster, you will fill out the form below, which includes a place to upload your PowerPoint file. Before you begin, it's a good idea to be ready with a description (100-300 words) for your poster. If the file upload fails, you can email a link to your poster file to Kristin.Whitman@oit.edu.
Submit your poster for inclusion in the digital repository here.
