Plan for the Day

Whether you’re a presenter, attendee, or faculty moderator, see below for what to expect on the day of the event!

What to Expect at the Event

HORIZONS 2024 has three components: an opening reception, the poster session, and oral presentation concurrent sessions. 

The reception will begin at 4:00pm. Enjoy appetizers and drinks on the second and third floor of Alumni Hall.

The poster session will be held in the Trustees Room (Alumni Hall 300) and throughout the third floor of Alumni Hall from 4:45-6:00pm. Stop by and view the posters, ask the presenters questions, and enjoy!

The oral presentations will be held across Alumni Hall, as well as many buildings across campus, throughout two sessions from 5:30-7:45pm. Use the program to see which presentations will be offered, at what times, and in what room (the program will be posted a few days before the event)

For Presenters: Arrival Time

• Poster presenters should arrive at 4:30 to the Trustees Room to find your poster and get in place before the session begins at 4:45pm. Plan to stay beside your poster for the duration of the event. 
• Oral presenters should check in at their assigned room 15 minutes before their session begins (Session 1 or 2). For example, if you are presenting at 6:00pm (which is within Session 1), you should arrive to your room at the start of Session 1, which is 5:30pm.

All presenters are encouraged to check out other students’ presentations and posters after your session ends.

Note: The HORIZONS program schedule will become available approximately one week prior to the event.

What to Wear

Student presenters should dress in business casual attire. If you need assistance with that, the Knox College Career Closet is a great resource! For poster presenters, please also wear comfortable shoes, as you will be standing for an hour at your poster.
