UNDergraduate Showcase

Registration for fall will open in November 2023.

Following guidance from their professor, or based on their research or creative project, students will develop a poster presentation. 

Standard poster size is 40" wide by 30" high. This is the size of the board to which your poster will be attached during the showcase, so please use this size if possible.

• Sample Poster Template 40"w x 30"h
• Helpful tips for Poster Presentations

Posters can be printed on campus through UND Print and Mail Center. A 40" x 30" poster will cost around $20. Be sure to plan ahead! Ensure there will be time to have the poster printed and picked up in time for the Showcase. UND Print and Mail Center requests a 2 week turn around. Other local sources for poster printing are available.
