Presenter Tips

Presentations Overview 

Undergraduates may present their research from any STEM field (see abstract submission form for full list of STEM fields). Group presentations are allowed (see the FAQs tab for more info). Presenters will be divided into divisions by field and include undergraduates from different areas of study at Baylor University so that students have an opportunity to learn about research across Baylor. Research presentations will be given in-person using a poster presentation format. Presentations should be no longer than 12 minutes and will be followed by analysis by a judging panel of Baylor faculty and graduate researchers as well as any questions from conference attendees. Individualized feedback from the judges will be sent to all presenters following the end of RID. Awards will be given to outstanding abstract and poster presentations.
