Student Resources

  • Free poster printing is available for undergraduate students who participate in Research and Creative Activity Day.

  • Posters may be sized up to 36" x 48"  (the maximum size our printer will accommodate).

  • Files must be less than 50 MB.

  • URSA-funded research posters must include the URSA logo (please see following section for files). If your poster has been printed for another event and does not have the URSA logo, that's fine - you may use that poster for RCA Day.
  • Please do not use gradient backgrounds as they will not print correctly.

  • FYI: Posters are printed on matte poster paper. Please contact the URSA office for any additional details.

Every URSA-funded poster must display URSA's logo.

If you choose to also include a 性欲社 logo, please make sure to follow the institution's branding guidelines. The  性欲社 logo page offers a variety of styles and sizes.

There are numerous poster templates available online for free.
