Poster & Oral Presentations Resources

Presentation Overview: There will be 5 scholars scheduled during the 1-hour presentation session. Each scholar will give a 10-minute oral presentation using Google Slides, leaving 10 minutes for Q&A at the end.

The presentation room will be set up in a lecture style, equipped with a podium and projector. Upon arrival, you will find a laptop on the podium with your Google Slides already uploaded. 

A clicker will be available if you prefer to move around while presenting and to advance your slides. You can also use the speaker notes feature in Google Slides, and we will ensure that presenter view is available during your presentation. For more information about speaker notes, please refer to the tutorial "How to Add and Work with Speaker Notes in Google Slides - Tutorial.

Room Facilitator: There will be a room facilitator that will be responsible for introducing each scholar and keeping time. The facilitator will hold index cards to announce when 5-minutes, 3-minutes and 1-minute are remaining. 

Presentation Slides & Upload: Oral presentations must be created in Google Slides for accessibility purposes. If short videos or website URLs are a part of the presentation they must be embedded into the google slide presentation. 

Once the mentor approval for symposium registration is completed, each scholar will be invited to upload their mentor-approved google slide presentation to this shared Google Drive between Monday, July  21 - Monday, July 28.

You have until Monday, July 28 at 11:59 p.m. to make any final edits or changes to your presentation or to upload your finalized presentation to the shared google drive folder.  All access will be removed on Monday, July 28 at 11:59 p.m.

Edits to the presentation google slides will not be allowed past this date. Please note that all finalized presentations should be mentor-approved. 

A combined google slide show for each presentation session will be created and used the day of the symposium.
