Oral presentations must be limited to ten (10) minutes in length , followed by five minutes for judges' questions.
Important: Speakers must e-mail an electronic copy of their PowerPoint presentation to research@etsu.edu no later than noon , Tuesday, April 2, 2012 , so that all presentations are uploaded at the facility and ready to project on time. Please ensure that your PowerPoint file is complete, accurate, and error-free, as no changes will be allowed after submission.
Please be aware that it is each student's responsibility to notify his/her instructor(s) in advance of the impending absence from class on April 5th. A letter serving as the "Class Absence Authorization Form" will be provided in the student packets (see Step 5 below).
On the day of the Forum, all speakers should pick up their name badge and packet at the Forum Information Desk at 8:30 am, and plan to be at their scheduled location/room before 9:00 am. When you arrive in the room, identify yourself to the session chair/moderator/timekeeper.
You should regularly check the Oral Presentation Schedule for your scheduled time slot and location and for any updates to the schedule.
Speakers should plan to attend the keynote address and awards ceremony that follow the oral sessions on Thursday, April 4.
