Research, scholarship or creative works can be presented at any stage, from proposal, conceptual framework, literature review and pilot study through completed dissertations, non-thesis projects and independent studies.

Participant Guidelines

Poster Presenters

Please set up your poster between 9:30 and 10 a.m., before sessions begin for the day.
- If you are not able to set up your poster personally, please find someone to set it up on your behalf (e.g., an advisor or peer); otherwise, reach out to Dr. Robert Stupnisky so the committee can set it up for you.
Plan to spend your assigned hour at your poster to answer questions and share information about your work.
- Outside of your assigned hour, you are encouraged to enjoy refreshments and attend talks and sessions.
Take down your poster between 4 and 4:30 p.m.
- If you cannot be present to take down your poster, please let the committee know; they will keep it at CEHD for a limited time to allow for pickup.
Poster templates can be created in PowerPoint, which allows a custom slide size of 40 inches wide by 30 inches high (4:3 ratio); see PowerPoint editing guidance for reference.
Adding a UND logo to your poster is strongly encouraged. Please see the CEHD poster template and CEHD poster example for guidance in creating your poster.
CEHD graduate students who are presenting a research poster at the conference are eligible to apply for funding to cover the cost of printing at the UND Print Center. Note this typically takes 3 days.

Talk Presenters

Each session will have 3 speakers, who will be asked to present in the order listed in the program.
Please visit the podium 15 minutes before your session to ensure your slideshow is present and working properly.
We ask each speaker to present for about 15 minutes, then allow about 5 minutes for questions and transitioning to the next speaker. The members of the R&D committee will be “session chairs” to keep time!
There will be a projector and screen as well as a laptop (PC) available for you. Please email your presentation to the ADRFD no later than the day before the conference.
Only designated virtual sessions will be shared on Zoom. This is to encourage in-person participation and engagement throughout the day.
