Guidelines for Posters

Important

Due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, students will create a digital poster that showcases their Service-Learning course experience and submit it electronically. Posters will NOT be printed this year.

We will send students' posters to the judges electronically, and they will judge them using the rubric.

Students will receive their feedback once we have gathered all the information.

Posters

Below is a sample of what a digital poster looks like; however, remember that we will not be printing the posters this year. Instead, everything will be done digitally.
