What are the size requirements for my poster?
The maximum poster size for all symposium posters is 40 inches wide by 48 inches long. Please note that this is portrait orientation. Do not design your poster in a horizontal format.

Some printers may not be able to print a poster greater than 3 feet wide.
What information must I put in the acknowledgements section of my poster?
All students should have an acknowledgement section on their poster. For BREU students, you need to include the following acknowledgement...

For all other students, please check with your program to see what information should be included in this section. You should acknowledge where your funding came from!
