We invite you to join the Southern Region as we reflect and repair, acknowledge and ascend, prepare and produce, envisage and encourage, and boldly blaze new trails!  We are calling for posters addressing any ACADEMIC topic of interest to the diverse membership of the National Black Graduate Student Association.

Posters are ideal for presenting speculative, late-breaking results or for giving an introduction to interesting, innovative work.  Posters are intended to provide authors and participants with the ability to connect with each other and to engage in discussions about the work.  Poster sizes are not specified; however, they should be at least 17” by 22”.

The following information is required for poster submissions:

1. Proposal Submittal Form: This includes the title of the paper, poster, panel, or presentation, authors(s)/ presenter(s), phone number, category, presentation format and length, and audiovisual requirements.
   Download form: Word 2003     Word 2007     PDF
2. Poster Abstract: The abstract text must contain the title and a 250-word (maximum) detailed description of the poster presentation.  If submitted electronically, the abstract should be in Microsoft Word format.

The information above may be submitted electronically via email to sorep02@nbgsa.org.
