32 – 36 judges needed
Tentative schedule (depends on the total number of posters):
1:00 – 4:30 p.m.: Poster Judging
4:30 – 6:00 p.m.: Public viewing, food, and announcing winners. Y’all are invited to return to the poster site at 4:30 p.m. Finger foods and beverages will be ready at 4:30 pm.
**A detailed schedule and a poster assignment list will be emailed to each judge and student presenter as we get closer to the event.
Poster numbering system:
P = PhD; M = MS; U = Undergraduate
A, B, and C indicate Research Focus Areas
Tentatively, I have: A = Plant Production and Management Systems | B = Sustainable Ecosystems & Renewable Resource Management | C = Food Animal Systems/Integrated Food and Human & Health Systems | U = Undergraduate Posters
-
Students must arrive no sooner than 30 minutes before the judging session begins – refer to the ‘LOGISTICS ON OCTOBER 24’ above and the spreadsheet Kelly Pippin sent you.
-
Each poster will be evaluated by three judges. Your finish time depends on when the assigned judge arrives at your poster.
** For example, if all three judges decide to start with poster A-P-01, the A-P-01 presenter will only need to present their poster once to all judges. As a result, the presenter could finish very quickly. On the other hand, if three judges arrive one at a time, you will present your posters three times to each of them and finish a little slower.
-
All posters will be organized under the following research focus areas:
A: Plant Production & Management Systems
** Research topics of interest include plant production and protection, cropping systems, adaptability and resiliency, agricultural technology and innovations, and the impact of agricultural production systems on the ecosystem.
B: Sustainable Ecosystems & Renewable Resource Management
** Research topics of interest include ecosystem services/preservation, landscapes, biodiversity, climate change, water, energy, bio-based products, alternative crops, and renewable resources.
C: Food Animal Systems & Integrated Food & Human Health Systems
** Research topics of interest include efficient and sustainable animal production systems, animal health, efficient and safe use of animal manure, animal production technologies, human health, and well-being by investigating the link between food quality, nutrition, safety and health, zoonotic diseases, toxins, and the impact of pests/pesticides on the ecosystem.
-
All undergraduate posters (regardless of research focus areas) compete as one group.
-
Poster number system:
P = PhD; M = MS; U = Undergraduate
A, B, and C indicate Research Focus Areas; for example, your poster number will look like A-P-01, B-M-03, U-01, etc.
Students are encouraged to review best practices for poster presentations and prepare for a general audience.

- Posters will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
-Aesthetics/Organization (i.e., visual appeal, organization, balance of images/figures/text, etc.)
-Content/Merit (i.e., scientific merit, general audience appeal, clear objectives, and outcomes, etc.)
-Presentation Skills (i.e., confidence, proper attire, enthusiasm, communication skills, etc.)
-Scientific Response (i.e., clear description of a scientific concept, clear explanation of what, how, and why, interpretation of results, etc.)
-Question and Answer (i.e., ability to clearly answer questions raised by the judges).
Note: If you are presenting the results of industry‐funded research, we encourage you to review with your major professor/principal investigator the industry contract terms regarding publication and intellectual property.
