Call for Competitive Graduate Posters
The 107th Eastern Communication Association Convention
[R]evolution
Baltimore, MD
March 31st – April 3rd, 2016

Submission Deadline: December 14, 2015
(Note: This deadline enables full semester preparation)

Graduate Poster Session Chair: Dante E. Morelli, Ph.D

Submission Emailmorelld@sunysuffolk.edu

Please identify your submission with the subject line: “ECA Graduate Poster Submission”

Submission Format: Please submit two WORD documents. The first document should include your title page. Specifically, this document should include the title of the poster and the author’s institutional affiliation, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.

The second document should be the same as the first in all ways except that it should contain no author identifying information. This second document should also contain an abstract.

The theme of the convention is [R]evolution. Poster sessions allow for graduate students to have a full professional audience for their research ideas which then can receive significant feedback for moving ahead with projects and ideas. If you have never presented at an academic conference, poster sessions are a comfortable foray into the academic community. Papers for the competitive graduate poster session will be accepted from every sub-discipline in the field of communication. 

Competitive poster presentations involve an author or authors standing next to a physical poster that visually explains the crux of the paper, research, or project. Convention participants, including judges, view the posters and talk to the authors about their studies. We strongly encourage all accepted presenters to provide a single or half sheet handout for audiences.

Submissions of Graduate Posters should include several components: 

 “In submitting the attached poster, I/We recognize that this submission is considered a professional responsibility. I/We agree to present this poster if it is accepted and programmed. I/We further recognize that all who attend and present at ECA’s annual meeting must register and pay required fees.”
