Montclair State University

Friday, April 23, 2010 from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m.

The Montclair State University Student Research Symposium is a forum to showcase and award outstanding student scholarship and research by students in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the College of Science and Mathematics. This event is open to undergraduate and graduate students.

The Symposium provides an academic venue for sharing research with the academic community, peers, and the greater community through poster display or oral presentation. Such work can be an important credential for graduate and professional schools as well as post-graduate employment.

There are two possible venues for presentation: poster sessions and oral presentations.

• Poster: Participants will prepare a single poster (to be printed by CHSS) that summarizes the overall project through its research questions, methods, and conclusions. During the poster session part of the symposium, you stand near your poster and explain the project to audience members who circulate through the poster display area.
  
• Oral presentation: Participants will present as part of a panel of similarly-themed papers. Each presenter will have fifteen minutes (ten minutes for presentation and five minutes for question and answer) to read a paper or to summarize a project and its primary conclusions. Powerpoint projection will be available upon request.
