SURCA 2020 Workshop: How to Deliver a Poster Presentation
2020-02-27 16:30 - 17:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | To Be Decided
Students planning to present a poster on their undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative activity are invited to hear from peer experts on how to make successful presentations at this workshop hosted by the Office of Undergraduate Research, part of DAESA. Doing the research is one thing, creating a poster is another, but presenting the information to judges and the public in a clear, concise manner is a skill all its own. Fellow students will lead the workshop; they have presented at SURCA in the past—and often at industry conferences—and may have won awards for their efforts. Visit https://SURCA.wsu.edu for more information. No RSVP or pre-registration is required. SURCA is part of WSU Showcase Week.
