How can I get my poster printed?

You are responsible for printing your poster and paying for the printing costs.

 

• You can print your poster at the McKeldin Library; please see the section of this website labeled "Specialized Printing/Publishing Services and Costs" for more information.

• Another option for poster printing on campus is the Engineering Copy Center. 

• Off-campus retailers (e.g., FedEx Office) may also offer printing options.

• Whether you plan to print your poster on- or off-campus, we recommend printing it well before the event.

​

What time should I arrive?

You should arrive at the Stamp Grand Ballroom at 1:00 pm.

​

Do I need to bring push pins?

Push pins will be provided; you do not need to bring your own.

​

How do I upload a digital copy of my poster?

Copies of posters from URD will be shared via the Digital Repository at the University of Maryland (DRUM), a site managed by the UMD libraries that many researchers at the university use to make their work available online. You can find upload instructions below. The deadline for uploading your poster is TBA. 

​

If you or your faculty research advisor have questions or concerns about uploading your poster to DRUM, please contact OUR at our-office@umd.edu.

​

Should I wear business clothing to URD?

You can if you wish, but it is not required.

​

Can I invite people to come to URD?

Yes, we urge you to do so! Please invite your research advisor, other students interested in research, friends, and family members.

​

I have a condition that would make it difficult to stand for several hours while discussing my project. What should I do?

Please get in touch with OUR at our-office@umd.edu.

​

What should I do with my poster once the event is over?

If you wish to keep your poster, please take it with you. OUR will recycle posters left behind after the event.
