Poster Sessions
Posters are already chosen for the 2019 NACUBO Annual Meeting - and they will be loaded to this website by Aug 2019. However, if you are attending the annual meeting stop by and see them in the registration area on Saturday, July 13, and then posters will move to the EXPO area on Sunday and Monday. Campus representatives will be present on Sunday, July 13, from 11:30 am - noon to discuss the content.
Consider bringing a poster in future;
- Highlight your campus efficiency success with a poster - great to share this information!
- Receive one registration discount (as long as not already registered).
- Amazing initiatives are occurring at your campus - others want to know!
- Share your poster and NACUBO will highlight your story throughout the year on our website.
- Great resource to use your poster internally at your own campus; increases positive communication to students, staff, and community at large.
