  • The poster session is during Common Time, 11:40-1:20. You're welcome to come earlier starting at 11:00 if you wish to set up.
  • After the poster session, students may take their posters. If the adviser/instructor wants the poster, please deliver it to them. Any leftover posters will be taken by the department.

Poster Design and Submission:

  • Psychology Specific Formatting:
    • All students must include their title and adviser’s or instructor's name at the top of their poster.
    • All students must include the Wesleyan mark (logo) on their posters:  Templates can be found at https://www.wesleyan.edu/communications/styleguide/templates-files.html
    • Posters must be 40″ wide and 30″ high. A poster submitted larger or smaller than these measurements will be automatically resized. This may affect the outcome of the poster, so please be attentive. If your poster will be used at an additional conference with a different size requirement, please note it when you email your poster
    • All students should have a final review of their poster with their adviser/instructor at least two days before deadline. A suggestion is to send a snap shot of the poster to faculty, especially for redos.
    • All files must be submitted as a pdf or tiff.  Powerpoint files will not be accepted.
