Entries in the engaged scholarship category of the John R. Chapin Undergraduate Exhibition should focus on a community service or other engaged learning project.
Deadline
This registration form must be approved by your faculty project adviser. All forms must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. Monday, March 31, 2025. Students should be aware that this deadline includes the faculty sponsorship form, which faculty cannot complete until this form is submitted. Waiting to submit this form until the deadline will make it impossible for your faculty adviser to submit the sponsorship form on time and will disqualify your entry.
Presentations
Posters
Posters should measure 24 inches by 36 inches and be created at 300 pixels per inch (ppi) resolution. Once printed the posters should be mounted on 24-inch-by-36-inch poster board or foam core. See printing information for details.
If you prefer an electronic presentation format to a poster presentation, you will need to provide your own laptop. Please consult with your faculty sponsor to select the best presentation mode. Request a table instead of an easel and indicate if you need an extension cord.
Technology
For video, website, application, or other digital work, you must provide your own computer, tablet, or other digital display. Request a table to put your computer on. If you have other needs, such as an extension cord, please indicate those on the form.
Video
Videos must be under 6 minutes. Email a link to your video by 5:00 p.m. Wednesday, April 16, 2025, to Dr. Nima Khodakarami at [email protected]. You must provide your own computer, tablet, or other digital display and headphones to display your video at the exhibition. Request a table to put your computer on. If you have other needs, such as an extension cord, please indicate those on the form.
Information Literacy Award
You may opt to have your project considered for an Information Literacy Award from the Penn State Libraries.
