At this event each MDSRS Scholar gives a no more than 5 minute oral poster presentation of the research they completed over the summer funded by an MDSRS research grant, this is followed by a short Q&A to a small faculty-facilitated group of peers. The session is also includes a break-out session with a discussion on Effective Approaches for Presenting Research Results and the Challenges in Meaningful Scientific Communication.

Poster printing: There are various options for printing both on and off-campus. Located on the First Floor of the Thompson Library in Room 160 (OIT Computer Lab) you can print posters up to 48 X 36 on plain paper for approximately $12 (entire poster, not per foot). Please note you will need a Buck-ID with money on it in order to print. There is a Buck-ID machine located in the lobby of the library that will provide temporary Buck-IDs for this purpose.  The Health Science Library's Medical Visuals Team provides poster printing services to researchers across the OSU campus. Additional print services such as FedEx/Kinko’s are also available off-campus. Templates are above if you are having difficulty accessing NWC and Medical Visuals internal pages.
