Spring Term - Week 6

The days are warmer, mid-terms are behind us, and, for some of you, graduation is right around the corner! We hope you are enjoying all that spring at Dartmouth has to offer. We’re looking forward to seeing many of you at the Pre-Symposium Mixer on May 14 (details below)!

Pre-Symposium Mixer

May 14, 5:30-7:30PM, ECSC South Atrium

We know public speaking can be stressful, so why not practice your poster session pitch with us? Hosted by Undergraduate Research, this mixer is a chance to meet other presenters, check out examples of strong (and not-so-strong) posters—courtesy of our graduate friends—and, if you'd like, rehearse your own poster “pitch.” No visual aids are necessary, so your poster doesn’t need to be finished! Come get practice and peer feedback in a comfortable setting.

Plus, we’ll have mocktails and snacks!
