Stumbled on this site? The Seminar 3 Common Event is now the STEAM Festival. Please visit our new site.
What is this event about?
The Seminar 3 Common Event emulates a professional scientific poster session. It gives you a chance to show off the work you have done in your Seminar 3 class to an audience of your Macaulay peers, faculty, and ITFs. It is also an important opportunity to hear about the work that has gone on in other Macaulay seminars, and to see how art and science interact as part of the Macaulay STEAM Festival.
When is it?
We have three different sessions: two on Saturday, December 3rd, and two on Sunday, December 4th. Each group will sign up for one slot. You will not necessarily be attending the same session as all of the groups in your class.
What happens when we are there?
Each session will feature thirty to forty group posters. Your group members should take turns standing by your poster explaining your data and findings to others and spending time looking at other groups’ posters. You’ll also be rating other students’ posters and participating in some integrative activities with the Seminar One Snapshot Photos as part of the Macaulay STEAM Festival.
Am I expected to attend all three sessions?
No, every group will choose one slot during one of the times listed above. Every group will present to other students, faculty, and staff. Slots will go fast, so sign up now!
How do I sign up for a time slot?
Just click the “Sign Up” link at the top of this page. Remember: one sign up per group.
Should I choose a time slot individually?
No, your group must determine a time when all (or most) of you can come together. One person from your group should submit the registration.
What if all the slots in our preferred time are already taken when we go to sign up?
We know December is a busy time for students, but you will need to choose another time to come. Sign up as soon as you can, so you have more choices!
What if we can’t all come together?
Choose the time when most of you can come, including the contact person. Anyone unable to present with his/her group must come on another day to fulfill his/her Common Events responsibility.
Why can’t everyone in my class just come together to do our presentations?
A Common Event is when Macaulay students come together not only from different sections of the Seminar but also from across the campuses. Everyone gets to see and hear what other students are doing in their Seminars and learn from one another.
Where do these presentations take place?
At Macaulay Honors College, 35 West 67 Street.
Will food be served?
No, we will not provide food. Bring a snack or eat before you come!
How can I get my poster printed?
See our page on Poster Printing.
