We held a Poster-Building Workshop here at the library last night to provide an overview of conference poster design best practices. We had pizza and helped several students and a couple faculty from Nursing and Engineering get started on their poster projects. Dan Budak of Graduate and International Student Life and librarians Brooke Duffy and Matt Bernstein were on hand to troubleshoot and help answer questions.
If you couldn't make it, don't worry! We put a lot of what we talked about on this guide here: Poster Design Guide.

Read more on the Women at Sundance page. There is also an initiative by the Women in Film advocacy group called 52 Films by Women (#52FilmsByWomen). The goal of this project is to encourage individuals to pledge to watch a film by woman filmmaker every week this year.
