September – December
Begin thinking about what you might want to present. You may present work completed during the past year, or an ongoing project. Your research or project does not need to be complete before you present.
December – February
Write your abstract and complete your online application. Work with your mentor, allowing enough time for that person to review your abstract proposal. The Writing Center offers abstract-writing workshops and online resources to help you prepare.
February – March
Begin working on your presentation. Visit the Present web page for more information.
April
Put the final touches on your project. Visit the Present web page for specific details on getting your poster printed free of charge at College Library (Not applicable to Virtual Symposiums). Invite your mentor and friends to the Symposium. Room assignments and presentation times will be emailed to presenters and posted on the Symposium homepage.
