The Digital Lab in Shattuck Hall room 107 is the campus resource for poster printing this year. This service is for all student participants, is limited to one poster, and is limited to the student who submitted the PDXScholar proposal. In other words, you cannot send a co-author to print your poster.
Printing is handled by lab assistants while you wait, and you should allow yourself ample time - 20 minutes for large print jobs, there could also be a line of students waiting to print. Evenings tend to have a quicker turnaround. Posters printed elsewhere are certainly fine to use, but the Shattuck 107 Digital Lab is the only location to utilize the scholarship funds available for this Student Research Symposium’s poster printing.
