===The Faculty Poster Exhibition and Tea will be the culminating event of faculty development for this year. You can create a traditional tri-fold poster or an electronic paper poster for this exhibition. Faculty development funds will cover the costs for both types of posters. Judy Dunham, Justin Stace, and Matt Sattley are the faculty providing leadership for this event. They will be happy to answer your questions regarding poster content or the creative process. ===

 ===Electronic posters are easy to create using Microsoft Word PowerPoint. If you would like to create an electronic poster, the directions are below. === 


 * 1) ===Scroll to the bottom of this page and click on the first link: http://www.posterpresentations.com/html/free_poster_templates.html ===
 * 2) ===Nine PowerPoint poster templates appear. Scroll through the templates, noting their dimensions and decide on the size of poster you would like to create. (MNU’s poster printer will resize and print all of these poster templates.) ===
 * 3) ===Right click on “Download the template” and “Save link as” to your computer. When you click on the link, the file will open as a PowerPoint slide. ===
 * 4) ===As you click on the words, you will notice that the entire poster is a grouping textboxes. The fonts are poster-sized for you. ===
 * 5) ===Reorganize the textboxes (delete and add) until you have the layout that works for your information. ===
 * 6) ===Save the PowerPoint slide as a PDF file. Click on the “File” menu, scroll down to “Save as” and click on “Pdf file.” It will take a minute for the file to convert. Save this file on a CD and send it to through campus mail. If your computer is unable to convert PowerPoint slides to Pdf files, just send Judy Dunham the PowerPoint slide and I’ll covert it for you! ===
 * 7) ===Send the CD to Brian Merriman, Graphic Design, Dobson Hall. He will print your poster and contact you when it’s ready for pick up. ===

===You will use foam core and double-sided tape to back the posters. Judy Dunham will provide these supplies. To flatten your poster, lay it face down with heavy books on top for a couple of days. Then apply the backing using a spray adhesive. ===
