Research Conference Carries on in Virtual Form

The Student Research Conference, scheduled for April 16, will proceed in an asynchronous, virtual form.

Since this is a challenging time, the Office of Student Research is not requiring students with accepted abstracts to present. Those students with a previously accepted abstract who would not like to participate do not need to take any action. Their abstract will remain published on the SRC website.

The Virtual SRC will be an asynchronous conference, meaning presentations will be recorded before the conference date and made available to the campus community starting April 16.  

General guidelines are listed below. Details on submissions, along with some frequently asked questions, are available on the Virtual SRC website. Questions can be directed to osr@truman.edu.

Oral Presentations
Oral presentation recordings are allotted a maximum time of 15 minutes. If students have accompanying slides or materials, these should be shared by recording the screen. For those who are able, SRC organizers would appreciate seeing a video of the student while presenting.

Performances
Performance recordings are allotted a maximum time of 15 minutes and should include a video of the performance.

Poster Presentations
Poster presentation recordings are allotted a maximum time of five minutes. Posters should be captured through a recording of the screen and include a verbal explanation of the poster. For those who are able, SRC organizers would appreciate seeing a video of the student while presenting.

Art Exhibits
Art exhibit recordings are allotted a maximum time of five minutes and should include a video of the piece as well as a verbal explanation of it.
