Preparation Resources
During and after registration, you can work on preparing your presentation. There are several resources available to help prepare your presentation beyond your SDSU Faculty Adviser/Mentor.
Mock Presentation Events
In the weeks leading up to Presentation Day in the spring semester, the S3 Support Team will host multiple opportunities for you to practice your presentation and get feedback, but you should also be working with your mentor to practice your presentation.
Library Poster Printing
The University Library generously supports one free poster print per presenter. They also have tips on how to prepare a poster.
Information Sessions
Get all of your questions about S3 answered during our monthly information sessions. These sessions will assist with both the registration process and preparing your presentation.
