FSHS will host a County Faculty Poster Session (Senior and presenting author must be a County faculty member attending the meeting).  This new session is intended to become a forum for Extension faculty who work with horticultural producers and consumers to share ideas on extension programming.  County faculty with programmatic responsibilities in Horticulture, Agriculture, and Family and Consumer Sciences are encouraged to submit entries provided the topic of the poster involves horticultural commodities.

 

To enter the session, authors should submit a 300-word abstract (similar to the abstract submitted for oral presentations) to the corresponding sectional Vice-President clearly indicating “Poster Session Entry”.   Posters should present an Extension program following the format: title, author(s), affiliation, introduction/ background, problem faced by the target audience, objectives and educational approach, teaching(s) offered, curriculum used, outcomes and impacts, and pros and cons in adopting this program in another county.

 

Posters must be self-standing (hard back; size not to exceed 4-ft wide x 3-ft tall) and set up will be on Sunday June 6 between 3:00 and 5:00 pm, and poster must be removed by Tuesday, June 8 at 12:30 p.m. Interaction/discussion between meeting audience and authors will be facilitated during a poster session on Monday June 7 between 7:30 and 8:30am in the continental breakfast area.  Poster session will be coordinated by Brad Burbaugh.

 

Opportunity for publication of the poster in the proceedings in the form of an expanded abstract (1 page of text and 1 page of tables, figures or pictures) will also be available. Note that FSHS publications allow for links to videos.  Contact your sectional VP for more information.
