Review Feedback

Comments from reviewers and other review data

Since the symposium consists of two poster sessions, a maximum of two students can present the same poster: one in each session. If this is the case, each undergraduate presenter/co-presenter team must submit ONE abstract for their team. Each PRESENTING TEAM will have each author assigned to a different session, e.g. Presenter in Session A and Co-Presenter in Session B. If a third UG presenter (or more) will present the SAME project/poster; then additional teams must:

1. Submit an abstract which reserves TWO presenter spots; larger teams must submit an abstract for each presenter/co-presenter pair
2. Print a poster for each team/pair will have their own assigned poster board
