Presentation Guidelines

These simple guidelines will help make your presentation great! 

  • Make sure the audience can read your text. Use less text and increase the font size. 
  • If you need to apologize for a slide (too dark, too small, too congested, etc), don’t use it.
  • Have an introductory slide with the title, presenters, and their affiliations.
  • Have a final slide with your contact information.
  • Select a background color that provides a good contrast to your font or drawings. Do not use a green background with red type or vice versa, some people will not be able to distinguish the items displayed.
  • Do not display long lists of data from your computer.
  • We encourage you to use digital links instead of paper handouts to promote source reduction. We are also happy to post them on the conference web site.
  • Review and comply with the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Code of Conduct below.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Code of Conduct 

NYSAR3’s DE&I team would like to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation for the knowledge and work of those who created resources to provide to speakers, attendees, and other individuals to highlight opportunities for inclusivity and organizational growth. Their wisdom and experience have made our own efforts possible. We utilized guidelines and recommendations these groups created as the foundation and standard of our own. Thank you to the National Association for Campus Activities (NACA) and the Columbia Business School for creating resources other organizations and individuals may refer to.
