PRESENTATION GUIDELINES

Oral presentations will be held concurrently using Zoom breakout rooms due to the large number of participants. This means 4-5 students will be presenting at the same time but in separate breakout rooms.

General format:

  • Presenters must log on to Zoom 5 minutes prior to their designated time slot
  • Presenters will be given a maximum of 15 minutes to present their research, followed by 5 minutes of Q&A from audience members
  • We strongly encourage presenters to share their research via presentation slides (PowerPoint, Google Slides, Canva, etc.)
  • The Symposium will be open to the entire UNC community and the general public. We encourage presenters to invite their family and friends!

For guidance and tips on creating and presenting research, check out our General Presentation Advice.
